What material are manholes made of?
The rims and covers are usually forged steel, though the rims are sometimes welded up. It's strong enough to take the weight of vehicular traffic that rolls across it. The covers are round because round covers cannot fall into the hole. The manhole itself is usually a concrete vault that is precast and set in place. It is then backfilled, which is the process of packing earth (or sand) around the vault to "fill in" between the vault and the hole in which it was set.

How many manhole covers on UK roads?
There are at least as many covers as there are finished manholes. Most manholes are already covered, and there are covers in stock ready to replace them, and covers in the factory ready to ship out. Unfinished manholes are relatively rare, but safety practices would probably require that random holes in a construction site should be covered by something. If you knew the proportion of unfinished manholes to stored and unused covers, you might be confident enough to boil it down to "There are at least as many covers as there are manholes."
How many manholes are there in the US?
Good question...have to use an estimate, because I am sure there isn't nationwide numbers on this. EPA estimates that there is 740,000 miles of public sewer lines in the US* and on average length between manholes on a city street is 300-400 feet. So multiply 740,000 x 5280 / 350 which equals.... 11,163,428 So roughly 11 million manholes in the united states.
