A civil engineer sugested using concrete with small rocks (i want to say 'large sand' but dont know the word in english) and a sort of adesive compound.

Anybody as diferent sugestions? I noticed some tracks in USA seem to be from concrete, but i dont know whats the construction method used.

Any help most apreciated
how about if you pour a concrete slab about 3 to 4 inches then lay the asphalt on top.
