This, as the minister noted, is due to the precarious state of flexible pavements in the country.

Key Points: 
  • This, as the minister noted, is due to the precarious state of flexible pavements in the country.
  • A rigid pavement is a road surface overlaid with reinforced concrete, while a flexible or asphalt one has a bituminous (tar) overlay.
  • Asphalt roads are the most common type of paved roads in Nigeria.
  • However, there is no data to speak categorically on whether concrete pavement is better than flexible pavement for Nigeria.

Comparison of flexible and rigid pavements

  • Unlike flexible pavement, rigid pavements have a high flexural strength, making every layer virtually immune to bending under pressure.
  • Flexible pavements usually last for 10 to 15 years while rigid pavements last for 25 to 30 years.
  • Extreme weather like high temperature affects flexible pavements but not rigid pavements.
  • Noise pollution is also high on flexible pavements but lower on rigid pavements.

The way to go

  • Consequently, a life cycle cost analysis should be carried out before choosing a pavement type.
  • A well-designed road will provide the intended level of service at an acceptable level of safety.
  • Concrete roads have a heavy construction cost, longer construction period due to the time required for curing, and longer repair times.
