Concrete roads pave way to the future in Vientiane
More roads in Vientiane and the provinces are being built or upgraded using concrete rather than asphalt as the authorities recognise its durability against the ravages of wet weather and heavy trucks.
An official from the Vientiane Public Works and Transport Department, who asked not to be named, told Vientiane Times recently that the cost of concrete and asphalt roads is quite similar.
