… Searching for solutions to America's infrastructure problem Infrastructure—like roads, bridges, dams and airports—form the backbone of society and are essential to economic development. In … in regions with sulfate-rich soils—like South Dakota. Sulfate-rich soils, which are generally not measured when designing and building roadways, can cause swelling and severe damage to roads when lime or cement stabilization is used to improve weak soil subgrades. In some extreme cases, when rainfall occurs, a chemical reaction can cause the road above a sulfate pocket to warp, and in some cases, completely deform. Repairing roads are expensive and the cost is effectively taken on by the taxpayers. In general, this can increase the maintenance cost of vehicles and reduce …
