However, practically nothing was done toward what can really be called road building until alter the Revolutionary War, tor it was not until wheeled vehicles came into general use that the widened trail became a road. THE GENERAL WASHINGTON TAVERN KNOWN LAVEK AS Mil,I.KlfS TAVERN. LANCASTER. PENNSYLVANIA By the year 1790, wheeled vehicles were common, and another step in road improvement became necessary. Cars and wagons could use the roads only in good weather, as the mud at other seasons made them impassable, particularly in stretches through lower grounds. To improve this condition, about 1800, cordu- roying came into use. Corduroying is the process of laying logs close together to form a solid roadbed and then covering the surface with earth. The corduroy roads, however, soon proved unsatisfactory. The rains washed away the earth, and wagons and carriages were jolted to pieces over the rough surface of the ex- posed logs. Macadamizing was the next step in road building. The roads, built of layers of broken stone, were wider than any single track of any of the routes followed before, although thirty feet was the maximum breadth.
