Which risk significantly increased when Roman road construction switched from local materials to deeper gravel foundations?

💡 Explanation

When deeper gravel foundations were used, increased reliance on material transport to road construction lead to logistical delays because transporting gravel long distances added substantial time and complexity. Therefore construction time increased significantly, rather than frost heave issues, erosion, or compaction problemes that are controlled by different variables.
