When I was living in Carson City one of the two ways to the house was dirt for about two miles before it intersected with US-50. When 50 was repaved, the old asphalt was stripped by a big [machine](https://www.constructionequipment.com/sites/default/files/styles/article_big_img/public/BOMAG_BM2200%20milling%20machine.jpg?itok=0kwtWa9R) (I called it the Jawa machine) and the resulting debris was spread on our dirt road and oiled. It wasn’t as good as ‘real’ pavement but was a big improvement nevertheless.
