Why do we still use concrete and asphalt for our roadways? Why have we not found a better material that is less prone to potholes and always feels smooth to drive on?

It’s very simple. It’s dirt cheap and it’s good enough.

Asphalt goes for about 40 to 80 USD per ton and Concrete goes for about 50 to 75 USD per ton.

This might not be exactly the price where you life, but it should be close enough.

It just not worth it to look for anything else.
