Abstract
A method of forming and the construction of a temporary roadway mat system, comprising a number of longitudinally arrays of overlapping on-road truck tire sidewalls, the arrays covering the expected width of the roadway and being supported from beneath by a floor member made up of a number of relatively flatly arranged on-road truck tread portions, in which the sidewalls are connected together and also connected to the tread portions to create a strong unitary floatational instant roadway surface over unstable ground.
