Minister Launches Steel Slag Road Repair Pilot Project

Minister Launches Steel Slag Road Repair Pilot Project

The government is trying a new way to fix roads using something called steel slag, which is leftover stuff from making steel.

They're mixing it with tar to make a product called Ecofix.

This is part of a plan to turn trash into something useful.

It's good because it works even when it's raining, doesn't need to be heated, and saves money.

Scientists say it's better than what's usually used.

It's like a test run to see if it will work well so they can use it on more roads in the future.
