After being quarried it can be "roasted" in a revolving cylindrical "oven" to produce cement. Cement is in concrete and mortar, so the limestone has helped the construction of buildings and bridges. Indeed during the last World War there were even boats made from concrete. Limestone itself can be used as the foundation for road construction, and, like other types of stone, is used to construct stone buildings and stone walls. Lime and limestone are also used in many industrial and chemical processes.

How can limestone be helpful?

Limestone can be helpful in many way, it depends on what state it is in and the uses can vary. As solid limestone or crushed limestone, it can be used by extracting iron from it's ore, to make sodium carbonate, used in road contruction or to make concrete. As CaO (heated limestone), the uses are making steel Fromm iron, to neutrilize acidic soil or it can be a drying agent. CaOH2 (calcium hydroxide or slaked lime - lime stone when it's wetted) neutralises acidic soil. I got this info from my chemistry book :-d
