Road construction techniques were gradually improved by the study of road traffic, stone thickness, road alignment, and slope gradients, developing to use stones that were laid in a regular, compact design, and covered with smaller stones to produce a solid layer . Modern roads tend to be constructed using asphalt and/or concrete .

Basalt was used as stadium seating and street pavers throughout the Roman Empire. Today, basalt is commonly used as crushed aggregate in construction projects. Crushed basalt is used for road base, concrete aggregate, asphalt pavement aggregate, railroad ballast, filter stone in drain fields. But, basalt is also cut into dimension stone.

a. Function of Sub base in Road Cross Section. It enables traffic stresses to be reduced to acceptable levels in sub-grade in the Road Cross Section so that excessive deformation is prevented. It acts as a working plate form for the construction of upper pavement layers. Acts as a drainage layer, by protecting the sub grade from wetting up.
