Basically they dug a trench, and then filled it with rock/stone/sand (Whatever was locally available) and then topped it off with larger stones and concrete.

(Yes, The Romans used concrete, they probably discovered/invented it, but after the collapse of the Roman Empire the method of making is was "lost" for 1,300 years!)

Why did Romans build 50000 miles of roads?

The Romans actually built 250,000 miles of Roads around their empire. They built three types of Roads: the via terrena (a plain road of leveled earth), the via glareata (an earthed road with a graveled surface) and the via munita (a stone-paved road, with rectangular blocks of the stone or with polygonal blocks of lava). The network of stone-paved roads was 50,000 miles. The purpose of this type of road was military. It speeded up to movement of troops to the front and made the transport of supplies to the soldiers at the front or stationed in garrisons easier. Because of their military nature, these roads were built as straight as possible, even in hilly areas. When traders complained that the roads were too steep for their laden carts, they were sometimes modified to make them less steep.
