This includes undertaking a detailed characterization of the land in the areas in which the roads will be built and as well as the climatic conditions of the location. Moreover, the sources of materials available to construct pavement structures should be identified and the possibility of modifying some local materials that do not completely fulfill the current technical specifications should be evaluated in order to turn them into suitable materials. The initial purpose of this article is to highlight several features relating to the selection and use of technologies for tertiary roads that, from an academic perspective, are a priority to guarantee the success of these initiatives. Additionally, the document details two pieces of research that were recently undertaken by Universidad de los Andes addressing the use of non-conventional materials to construct tertiary roads in order to emphasize the role played by research in these types of road projects.
