Burkina Faso’s 150km Sahel Tire Highway Plan — Can Old Tires Survive Extreme Desert Heat?

#ibrahimtraoré #traore #burkinafaso #africagreen #highway Burkina Faso is pushing a bold national infrastructure idea: building 150 kilometers of highway across the Sahel using old tires—not as trash, but as engineered input for rubber-modified asphalt and Sahel-grade pavement performance. In a region where extreme heat can crack pavement, heavy trucks can carve deep ruts, and sand abrasion can grind surfaces down fast, this is more than recycling. It’s a high-stakes test of mix design discipline, blending temperature windows, compaction timing, and batch traceability. In this documentary-style episode, we break down how crumb rubber from tire waste can improve elasticity and resist thermal cracking, why rutting “hot spots” (braking zones, junction approaches, climbs) can decide the fate of an entire corridor, and how a single bad batch—or a broken chain-of-custody—could turn a national breakthrough into a national scandal. Many observers connect this push to a broader self-reliance momentum often associated with the Traoré era as an inspiration/catalyst—not as a direct order—reflecting a national shift toward building infrastructure from resources the region can control and verify.
