#Could roads made from PLASTIC spell the end of potholes? Recycled bottles could finally end the scourge of every motorist By Jack Millner For Mailonline Published:
and neglected roads can lead to dangerous potholes and agonising delays as a result of costly road works.
when a section of road gets damaged, it can easily be removed and replaced, after a Dutch company announced their plans to build prefab plastic roads that could slot together like Lego bricks.
The project, dubbed Plasticroad, would see Rotterdam become the first city in the world to lay down plastic road tiles made in a factory in advance.
The company behind the idea, construction firm Volkerwessels, said that the surface would require less maintenance than the traditional road building material asphalt

#Rotterdam may be first city to build roads from plastic bottles Rotterdam could be the first city to build streets with plastic bottles after the city council announced it is considering piloting a new type of road surface.
Construction firm Volkerwessels revealed plans on Friday for a road surface made entirely from recycled plastic.
which is responsible for 1. 6 million tons of global carbon dioxide emissions a year and 2 per cent of all road transport emissions.
The plastic roads could also be laid in weeks rather than months and have a life-span up to three times longer than traditional roads,
it is claimed. The company also suggest that they will require less maintenance and be able to withstand greater extremes of temperature.
The bottle roads will be lighter as well as hollow making it far easier to install cable and utility pipes below the surface.
Sections of the road will be made pre in a factory and then transported on-site, which means a shorter construction time, lower maintenance and less road works.
but the company aims to put down the first fully recycled road within three years. Rotterdam
