REDUCING ROAD CONSTRUCTION COSTS THROUGH THE USE OF LOCAL MATERIALS

Abstract

This article analyzes the issues of reducing road construction costs through the use of local construction materials. The study examines the economic and environmental advantages of using local gravel, sand, limestone, crushed stone, and recycled asphalt materials. In addition, the paper discusses the reduction of transportation and logistics costs, the implementation of resource-saving technologies, and the improvement of pavement quality through innovative methods. The research results demonstrate that the use of local resources not only reduces the overall cost of road construction but also ensures environmental sustainability.
