As you know, there is nothing eternal in our world, but you always want to use something that can serve for many years, invariably maintaining its high functional qualities. When it comes to Russian roads, in principle, I would like them to be just there. Not broken highways and city asphalt strewn with holes, but full-fledged roads on which it would be easy and pleasant to drive.
Perhaps one of the age-old Russian problems will be solved by a resident of Omsk, who invented a new generation roadbed that has no analogues in the world. At first, Alexander believed that his invention would be suitable exclusively for the northern regions of our vast homeland, but then he adjusted the project for megacities. According to the author, roads with moving elements will be extremely durable and easy to install.
Using miniature metal puzzles, the Russian showed journalists how his invention would work. The structure will consist of pyramid-shaped concrete blocks connected by special locks. When stress is placed on the pavement, the puzzles will begin to slide, simultaneously increasing the strength of the road and creating drainage channels for rain and melt water. Moreover, the more pressure is exerted on the structure, the more the soil will be compacted from below.
Will Russia have the best roads in the world?
The Omsk craftsman reports that such a road surface can be laid directly on the sand without any soil filling and auxiliary layers. This will significantly reduce not only the cost, but also the labor intensity of road paving in Russia.
Alexander has already managed to patent his innovation. For a patent to be issued, an examination was required, during which it was necessary to prove the benefits of the invention. A special commission examined an interesting collapsible road surface and tested it on several types of soil. It turned out that the brainchild of a Russian really has undoubted operational advantages over solid concrete slabs. Experts considered that such an innovation could be effectively used even in permafrost conditions.

Omich has already sent letters to the local construction ministry, the regional governor, Rosavtodor and even the presidential administration. In his messages, the inventor calls on officials to get acquainted with his development and assess the prospects for its implementation in the country. While civil servants are thinking, Alexander is trying to improve the road surface, making it even more functional and durable.
