Answer

When concrete dries, it shrinks and then cracks. Without the lines, cracks would form randomly in the concrete causing it to break apart. By having the lines, the cracks follow the lines since that is where the slab is the thinnest.

Answer

Because the sidewalk is made of millions of squares of cement put together and it would be too much work to fill all the lines.

ANSWER:

Because the sidewalk is not a continuous pour. They can only pour a few sections at a time. The lines are where one pour ended and another started. Highways and driveways are poured the same way. WITH lines. These lines are also known as stress points, due to expansion and contraction, the weather and the seasons, this keeps the concrete from cracking in the solid portion of the poured form.

How do you run electrical or drip line under an existing sidewalk?

To run electrical or drip line under an existing sidewalk, you can use a pipe or conduit that is large enough to accommodate the wires or tubing. First, dig a trench on both sides of the sidewalk, taking care to avoid damaging the sidewalk. Then, use a tool such as a tunneling kit or water jet to bore a hole or create a tunnel underneath the sidewalk to run the lines. Once the lines are in place, backfill the trenches and repair any damage to the sidewalk.
