% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Pont Julien http://vectorville.blogspot.com/2013/09/pont-julien.html is about 2100 years old and was used until 2005. The Roman empire was using paved roads to connect it’s empire in 300bc

Porta Rosa is in Greece, and is in Velia, has gutters, and dates to between the 3rd and 4th century BC (about 2500 years old)

Wikipedia says the oldest known paved road is in Egypt, and stone paved streets are found in the city of Ur in the middle east dated to 4000 bc, so, they’re about 6100 years old

The oldest known road according to Wikipedia is Plumstead, only slightly older than “Sweet Track” which carbon dated to 3807 BC. Not exactly roads, more log slat pathways across the bog during the iron age

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road

An eight-mile stretch of flagstones was used to move basalt blocks from a quarry to the Nile for transportation to monuments at Giza and Saqqara.
American researchers discovered the 4,600-year-old highway that linked a basalt quarry in a desolate region of the Egyptian desert to waterways that carried basalt blocks to monument sites along the Nile. The eight-mile road is at least 500 years older than any previously discovered road and is the only paved road discovered in ancient Egypt http://articles.latimes.com/1994-05-07/news/mn-54915_1_world-s-oldest-paved-road-in-egypt
