This manual will assist contractors and supervisory staff with the construction of concrete roads, whether using the most modern slip-form paver or the most rudimentary equipment for low-volume township street. The comprehensive content includes some design and detailing aspects, so that there is an understanding of why certain details are important and why the roads should be constructed in a certain way.
