The roads being highly complex and because of their high importance in proper development of the nation by properly connecting various parts of the country/economy/society and hence, can be termed as a “Strategic Infrastructure Sector” also for a country/economy/society. Not only roads can be compared as life line when we talk about economic sustainability and growth of a country but because of its uniqueness of providing support as well as linkages to all other sectors of economy and social activities, it attains a much more important & critical role similar of nerve veins running across the length and breadth of a living being. This paper deals with analysing and evaluating soil sub grade and base course material and checking its properties to find its suitability by using California Bearing Ratio test. It is done as a part of the tender work for the improvement of by widening from 5.50 meter to 10.00 meter staging and C. C. Block on Rewari Dadri road upto Lula Ahir in Rewari District including shifting of utility of P. H. and Electrical (Road ID: 1339, 4656 and 1682) including HSAMB Portion with an objective to tailor the functionality of this framework. In this paper results of the soil test conducted to evaluate the strength properties of soil are presented.
