The amount of bitumen required for a normal highway can vary significantly based on factors such as the highway's length, width, and intended traffic load. Generally, a typical highway might require approximately 1,000 to 2,500 tonnes of bitumen per kilometer. However, this can fluctuate based on the thickness of the asphalt layer and specific design specifications. For precise calculations, detailed engineering assessments are essential.
The exact make-up of a road will depend on several variable factors such as the weight and volume of traffic it has been designed to carry, local climatic conditions and the availability of mineral aggregates. In most cases, bitumen will be needed for its properties of waterproofing and durability and as the cheapest adhesive generally available. A minor secondary road may use bitumen only for its top two courses, at the rate of 7 tonnes per kilometre. A highway engineer may call for three asphalt courses, with tack coats in between, because of asphalt's superior load bearing properties. In this case, bitumen consumption can amount to 1,000 tonnes per kilometre. The bitumen percentage in asphalt is usually between 4-8%.
About 1.2 tonnes
Densities vary slightly, but with normal hardstone (high Polished Stone Value) aggregate 2.38 to 2.40 tonnes per cubic metre is the number you're looking for. This assumes voids content of between 4 - 8%, in other words, laid to Specification. Hope this helps:-) Bill Galer Reinstatement Contracts Manager, Wessex Water

The abbreviation of tonnes is lower case 't'
Planets do not weigh in tonnes in the traditional sense, as weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, which depends on its mass and the gravitational pull it experiences. However, their masses can be converted to equivalent weights in tonnes on Earth. For example, Earth has a mass of about 5.97 x 10^24 kilograms, or roughly 5.97 trillion tonnes. Other planets have varying masses, with Jupiter being the most massive at about 1.90 x 10^27 kilograms, or approximately 1.90 quintillion tonnes.
2400kg = 2.4 metric tonnes
6.3 tonnes is equal to 13,890 pounds.
11,000 pounds is 4.99 tonnes.
