Complete reconstruction of highways causing traffic bottleneck by detouring solved with demountable steel overlay sheets made up from interlocking transverse lengths laid on top of existing roadways; elements dimensioned for easy truck transport are hollow, 12.45 m wide by 2.40 m long and 0.30 m high; each unit is laid across two timber beams 7.80 m long, thus supported about 0.45 m above road surface; approaching vehicles reach and leave switch-over section by access ramps; steel plates are plastic sheeted for skid resistance.
