Documentary about the use of asphalt in road construction. Although asphalt had already been used as a product for many centuries, it proved difficult to use as a material for road surfaces. But after a few technological improvements at the end of the 19th century, this had become possible.
Asphalt is strong, flexible, waterproof, and easy to apply, so it quickly became known as a modern and high-quality material. In the 20th century, the Netherlands began asphalting its streets, roads and even sidewalks on a large scale. This documentary shows the creation of asphalt, and the asphalting of roads.
