pavement

pavement
A hard substance applied to the surface of the ground, especially the substance, usually cement or asphalt, applied to street or highway so as to make a convenient surface for travel. Cedar Rapids v Cedar Rapids & Marion City Railway Co. 108 Iowa 406, 409 (holding that the word does not include the flooring of a bridge). A pavement is not limited to uniformly arranged masses of solid material, as blocks of wood, brick, or stone; but it may be as well formed of pebbles or gravel, or other hard substance, which makes a compact, even, hard way or floor. Belcher's Sugar Refining Co. v St. Louis Grain Elevator Co. 101 Mo 192, 13 SW 822.
