Concrete New Zealand-commissioned research shows road maintenance costs using the material are up to 62% lower than asphalt. 

It also shows that, on average, concrete roads are 17% cheaper over 40 years.

He says New Zealand has a pothole crisis and is spending billions on roads but is still building in the same way.
