Roads, bridges and hills

Why not build a go cart raceway?

Its fun as hell and educational for kids.

I keep thinking schools need to send kids to go cart places before they learn to drive.

Kinda like riding a pony before you ride a horse

It's possible with time and dedication. Local authorities might be pissed.
It would be cheaper to buy a hill.

It is possible to build your own hill and your own roads so long as it is on private property.

Roads that are really curvy and "fun to drive" tend to be less safe and don't meet state/local/federal design standards, so they aren't built like that these days.

Building your own road would be insanely expensive though. Embankment construction alone of that caliber requires large equipment to move as well as a cut section to provide your fill material. Don't forget you need to get it compacted well so that it doesn't just wash away, and then eventually stabilize the slopes.

Next is the construction of the actual surface, a dirt surface would be cheapest and can just be bladed. A blade, or motorgrader is a very challenging piece of equipment to use to have it come out good. This would also apply if you made an aggregate path.

Asphalt pavement or concrete would get expensive quickly, to the tune of about a million per mile.

I can provide a lot more information as I'm a construction engineer who builds highways for a living. Unless you have significant resources though, the cost of a project like this would be monumental for a single individual.

Quarry fag here. Unless u wanna fill in mud holes a lot you gonna need some rock. And it aint cheap. Then again uncould just throw some 3 inch rock in the bigger holes and deal with it. Pickup load is roughly 10 bucks. Get you a skid loader and go crazy anon.

If doing by hand get "clean/screened" 1 1/2". Any smaller the dirt just eats it around here. And any bigger its a cock to shovel.

Also used to haul rock. 3 inch base till it packs in. 1 1/2" crusher run on top as it packs in. Thats who i built miles of lease roads. We through 1 1/2 crusher run on the quarry roads.
