Epic gravel road
No kangaroos were harmed making this ...
Epic dirt road in the outback.
Now time for that beer, race the to pub
InspectorFrankDrebin
It feels like the second video is played backwards.
Turtleproof
Always wondered how they built roads so fast in SimCity.
sionistic
I'm just impressed how they can reverse in such long straight lines
TheLastChance
I think they've done this before...
refraNoodleJumper
Now why the hell do they take 3 weeks to fix the pothole outside my house?
FFFS
Witness me! : Drivers probably
wittie888
I had to do machinery run time in college. Hated highway construction from the start.
NoImDirtyDan
It takes ten years to get a pot hole filled in Pennsylvania
terrorofthederp
The far side of the road was not rollered!
CosmicFlowerPower
AND THEY CAN'T FIX A POTHOLE BY MY HOUSE???

ImOverExplainingThingsInATotallyInaccurateManner
The footage is sped up but it's still very impressive.
beetcher
Crashed my motorcycle with my wife turning onto a road that this was just done to. All the extra gravel had been sucked down to the 1/2
beetcher
2/2 and there was probably 4-6" of gravel that brought my slow turn to a fast crash.
ForrestIndustries
If there's one thing I learned from Cars, it's that doing it fast means it's gonna be really shitty.
Janusha
That shit wouldnt last 4 months here in my country
Dudeitsausername
while is maybe done quick, it will last for about a year or so before it starts falling apart. Those type of roads are a pain to drive on.

My eyes like it. Oddly enough extremely satisfying to watch.
kbid
race the to pub
foobarRAWR
Is this sped up footage?
Umgurbanned
technically it looks like it by a few frames
dashers
It'd take 6 weeks to do the same thing in the UK.
FortressCraft
You misspelled 'months'
ILikeCorgisBecauseTheyHaveFluffyButts
Highway construction moves quickly when you only have to accommodate traffic of 1 car/day and it never rains/snows.
Camelspotting
Although it is a bit of a problem when the road starts melting.
wenturi
Or when you get payed after a finished project and not time spent working on it.
KillingTlme
They want more tax dollars to fix the roads, when we all know the problem is the system of government maintained roads.
xSquireRamza9
Oh helllll no, no way. Roads should not fucking belong to companies. They're public roads for a reason
battlepants
Do you want toll roads? Cause this is how you get toll roads!
steam1218
toll road at every stop light
goawayleafyvegetable
I do not trust gravel roads since one time that I ended up in a ditch and my car gained the nickname "cow"
RobertLSU
this would have taken 45 years in louisiana
ShemnonShadowalker
How is this a news story? This is how most county roads are maintained all over the us. Road base/tar, gravel, compact it then let 1/2
ShemnonShadowalker
Everyone else drive on it for about a week, then they come back with a street sweeper and push the extra gravel to the shoulders.
Shewy92
How is this a Mad Max version? There aren't any flames or silver spray paint or awesome guitar riffs
zma123456
Oh whew I'm not the only one. I thought I missed something.
floorbatter2010
Yes needs more flame guitars to be mad max
RickThizzleBeef
It's because of trucks? I feel like mad Max is slapped on anything with trucks.
Shewy92
I'm guessing it's because it's Australian?
fractalsphere
Can we give props to the drivers of those trucks BACKING UP while laying the gravel down?
itsoppositeday
Exactly what I was thinking.
angryimgurer
Why where they backing up though?
ImCrappinYouNegative
'Stralia. Everything is upside down, wrong side of the road, and backwards apparently.
eldorel
You don't want the black stuff on the tires.
InappropriateObservation
So they aren't putting their tyres on fresh tar
Isorikk
These roads are super shitty BTW. I'm told it's like driving on breakfast cereal that eats your tire tread and falls apart after a year
putski
They're pretty common in country Australia and surprisingly durable but yes, very rough.
theweezel69
Even so if this is in real time it is kinda impressive.
Kavrae
Watch the people in GIF 1 and the truck in GIF 5. It's sped up.
theweezel69
Looking at the people I concure. Of course given the speed of most workers where I live I would say it is sped up to 100x. Slow workers here
chloramphenicolderivative
If someone could shit a mile a day, would you drive in it?
theweezel69
Nope, but I would admit that it is impressive.
BritishGingerLefty
Is it better than the dirt though? Serious question.
sclev
I've driven on plenty of gravel roads in the US but I'm not sure if they're made the same way. I prefer dirt roads. Less destructive.
putski
The dirt roads here get a lot of corrugations so will be very hard on vehicles.
NickFurryTheSecond
It also feels skaty as fuck when driving on dirt/gravel.
putski
