Well, not highways made of bamboo (it might be strong enough
in some cases, but maybe a little bumpy).
But how about bamboo on roadsides?
In an earlier posting I suggested the need for aggressive
research on vegetative materials that can be used for carbon sequestration
while serving other needs.
Bamboo - although an
unorthodox choice – should be investigated. It is reported to be very effective at carbon sequestration,
if properly managed. It also
requires little to no maintenance, provides effective screening of incompatible
land uses, and might even work for crash cushioning.
OK, it’s not native to this country, but it’s time to push
the envelope in this area.
