Yes, let's add more cancer to the mix! Forget reinforced concrete and stone on a solid base that is designed to last forever, it must not be possible since we don't do it, nevermind the romans built stuff still in use today.
No, let's mix industrial waste into the cheapest road construction material instead! Great idea guys!. /s
