In just two days this team transformed a dirt road in Moora, Western Australia into a 4.9 km length tarmac road.

And to think it can take 4 weeks or more just to get a pot hole repaired in this country!

I love that idea, a spray-on road.

Maybe they could issue aerosols to a responsible adult in each street (is there one?) so we can fix our own pet potholes!!

It's the pinpoint accuracy of the reversing lorries that astound me. some people can't seem to drive in a straight line, let alone reverse.

Unless they're being guided by satellite like some of the new fangled combine harvesters are?

Oi VX, I can reverse an artic with pinpoint accuracy and I don't need b***** satellite either, it's called skill:)

Gnat's whisker or a fag paper, your choice!

And all done using the mirrors, so much easier when you have been taught how.

Redruth in Cornwall is a bit of a pot hole.

Just saying :)

Hardly road construction, that looks more like 'surface dressing'; I used to do it during college vacations nearly 50 years ago. It's easy on a nice straight road with no traffic and no complications like covering up drain gratings, manhole covers and cat's eyes (no, not pussy cats).
