Earth roads are constructed as detailed below :-
Material required :- The materials required for the construction of an ordinary earth road are natural soil, originally availableat site, a suitable stabilizer, if required. The ideal composition of soil which is recommended for construction earth roads.

Method of construction of an ordinary earth road :- The construction work of an ordinary earth road is completed in the following steps ;-
1. Preparing the subgrade :- The subgrade is prepared and the surface is brought to the required camber and gradient.
2. Rolling an watering :- The surface is rolle properly and well wetted with water.
3. Spreading the soil :- after watering, a layer of graded soil, about 10 cm thick is evenly spread.
4. Rolling :- the layer of soil is rolled at optimum moisture moisture content ( OMC ) with a suitable roller and finally finished with a light roller.

Hi,
today I am going to share with you the steps which are necessary for the construction of the earth roads.
General :First of all what is an earth road? Earth road is a type of road whose whole pavement section is constructed with the locally available earth material preferably. Borrow pits are located at the nearby sites preferably outside the land width where, the required earth is available.
Sub-grade and the surface of the earth roads are given larger camber of 1in 33 to 1 in 20 because they need faster drainage to be safe from the moisture. A maximum value of camber of 1 in 20 is the limit because higher camber will result in the formation of cross ruts and corrosion of pavement soils.
