Macadam road is a type of road construction that was built in 1820, by John Loudon McAdam, a Scottish engineer, who used small angular stones to form compact layers of crushed stones. The inexpensive paving material that was used for the construction of roads was made up of stone aggregate and soil, called as macadam. It was a cheap, yet effective way of constructing and protecting the sideways.

 

Thomas Telford, was another Scottish civil engineer who used heavy foundation stones over the soil sub-grade to construct roadways. 


Telford was the engineer of the road projects, and canal projects in Shropshire and also built tunnels and harbors in Scotland. His major achievement was building bridges over the rivers.


Telford Road is a place in Langholm, where Thomas Telford worked as an apprentice in his early years.
