Additional drainage systems as well as heating may be required due to climate change factors. Utilities could be installed in culverts made from precast sections and located underground as part of the road construction process, providing access for maintenance. Additional drainage systems as well as heating may be required due to climate change factors. Advanced roads may also contain sensor technology to determine wear issues and address maintenance effectively or to monitor temperature gradients.
