About 10 Bermudians produce nearly all the asphalt used to pave Bermuda’s roads—and they have to get it exactly right.
In this behind-the-scenes look at Surface Experts Ltd., we break down what it really takes to build and repair roads in an island that imports every grain of sand, cement and stone. We explore how asphalt is made, why temperature control matters down to the degree, and how a small, dedicated team keeps up with increasing demand despite no formal training pipeline and a shortage of skilled workers. With a new government plant still under construction, these workers are carrying the load—literally.
As delays mount and resurfacing lags behind, can this small crew continue to deliver what Bermuda’s roads require?
