It's amazing how a road, for something visually so deceptively simple, makes the table look like it is a part of a wider (modern) "world" around it, while still a super useful piece of "terrain"; open ground, or chuck some burnt-out cars on it for LoS blocking. A tutorial on a modern roadway (overpass?) Would be super useful for my games of This is Not a Test and Gaslands! :)

In Germany we still have a few cement tile autobahns, so if you wanted to go for WW2 or early Cold War era autobahn, that would be appropriate. For asphalt highways this technique is probably the thing to go for. I once used a cement pour with wire reinforcement, similar to the steel reinforced concrete Luke did for the ruins once, to build a modern bridge. Ended up rock solid and way too heavy to transport it conveniently. A structural engineering buddy of mine even calculated how thick I had to pour the cement to not have it collapse under it's own weight... we are a bunch of nerds...

you can use black bake clay ,roll it out thin use a knife to cut the width you want put JUST the clay in a oven bake it ,pull it out paint it and if you want it broken up stick it in the freezer for a bit and it will shatter when you drop it ,if you want it with texture mix the black sand with the clay before you roll it out

Great technique Luke! Have you tried using craft foam as your base instead of the wood? It doesn't warp and will take on whatever contour is below it so you could just put the camber in your base material. It would actually take on a much more realistic rise and fall along the length of the road. It also has a pretty decent asphalt road look to it from the start so if you missed a spot with the other material you wouldn't notice it easily. It is also easy to cut pot holes in. Just a thought for you. The top surface of your road is great! I really like the texture there.

I've recently started collecting the miniatures for Marvel: Crisis Protocol & I'm struggling to find many people who make tutorials on terrain or tables for modern cityscapes such as a New York or L.A. or even London style tables, etc. It seems mostly to be apocalyptic 40k cities or medieval fantasy towns, etc, or the occasional cyberpunk diorama that isn't really fit for gaming. Seeing some modern city based tutorials would be both refreshing & hugely helpful.

Really like the technique you used here. I use Bitumen paint and sifted sand, and aluminium oxide sandblast media (basically scale tarmac, without the heat!) It's usually when i'm doing "new" road surfaces. Talc, grout etc for weathering pretty much as you do. I'd be interested in your thoughts and whether you've ever tried it? It stinks, takes & a fair while to dry of course so might not be best suited to "quick builds".
