Unfortunately this depends on many things.
An asphaltic highway will vary in construction depending on countless factors.
Firth you will need to design your highway makeup.
for a surface course and binder I'd say 100mm is about normal
the base (if asphaltic and not another unbound or bound material) about 400mm (depending on foundation design)
the subbase will need to be design but would normally not be asphaltic
So say you have 0.5m of asphaltic material depth. Multiply this by the width of the width of the road to give you an area .
0.5 x width of road
As a very very loose guide of the density of asphalt take (it vary greatly depending on aggregate, penetration etc.)
2200kg/m3
10168000kg divided by density will give you the volume
10168000/2200 = 4622 m3
4622 m3 / (0.5m x width of road m) = very approximate length of road
i.e 4622m3 /(0.5 x 7m)= 1.3km for a single carriageway two lane road at 7m width

How many yards is equal to three tons of asphalt?
The type of product measured does not change its weight requirement; a ton of feathers and a ton of asphalt all weigh: 2,000 pounds in American and 2,240 pounds in the United Kingdom; systems of measurement.
How much does 28 cy yards of concrete weigh?
A yard of concrete weighs two tons, so 28 yards is 56 tons.
How many yards of crushed concrete do you need for a 150'x12' driveway?
Crushed concrete is sold by the ton. One dumptruck will haul between 13 and 15 tons. Your driveway should take around 30 tons if covered 4" thick.
How many meter a ton of asphalt cover?
It of course depends on the depth. An old rule of thumb is one ton will cover one square yard (3'x3') at 18 inch depth. Of course we don't place it 18 inches deep very often. But if you divide 18 by the number of inches you do plan to lay, it will tell you how many square yards can be covered. For example, at 3" depth, divide 18 by 3 = 6 square yards will be covered. Another way is to calculate the volume you are covering in cubic feet such as 15 feet by 50 feet by 3 inches (0.25'), = total cubic feet. Then divide totl cubic feet by 150 (apprx. wt per cubuc foot of asphalt)=TONS NEEDED
How much gravel is needed for a driveway 1780 sq ft 12 inches deep?
You will need 65.93 cubic yards or 84.6 tons of gravel.
How many yards is equal to three tons of asphalt?
The type of product measured does not change its weight requirement; a ton of feathers and a ton of asphalt all weigh: 2,000 pounds in American and 2,240 pounds in the United Kingdom; systems of measurement.
How many yards is 23.39 tons?
Yards can't be converted to tons. Yards measure length, while tons measure mass.
How many tons of asphalt in a squaremeter?
Any number that you like: it depends how high the asphalt is stacked!
How many tons of asphalt will you use on a 500 square meters piece of land?
The answer depends on how deep you want the asphalt layer to be!
How many tons are in a yard of asphalt?
Asphalt installation is usually bid by the square yard, the installer will buy asphalt by the ton, and it will be delivered in a truck measured in cubic yards. Therefore, a volume/weight/area ratio is required. In short, an estimator will typically assume that one square yard of compacted asphalt laid one inch deep will weigh approximately 111 pounds.
How many cubic yards of small rock are in 22.50 tons?
there is about 1.25 yards to a ton,so 22.5 tons would be approx 18 yards
How many tonne in 10 yards?
Yards can't be converted to metric tons. Yards measure length, while metric tons measure mass.
How many yards is 288 tons?
None
How many tons is 180 yards?
Your question is incomplete. Yards does not convert to tons unless we know what kind of yards and if it is cement, water or what other density you are dealing with.
How many cubic yards in 15 tons?
Yards is a measurement of distance - Tons is a measurement of weight - the two are not interchangeable.
