Intensive development of road building needs to find alternative substitutes for natural road building materials. The use of alternative materials in projects and programs of construction and reconstruction of roads significantly increase the level of environmental security through energy and resource conservation. The system of indicators of environmental safety of waste management projects in road building includes a system of indicators of environmental safety and metallurgical waste criteria of environmental safety in the use of waste as an alternative road-building material. Determination of integrated indicator of environmental safety of the project allows selection of pavement design from options under the algorithm design of pavement with a decrease in material consumption and energy intensity of construction based on the use of alternative materials. The current system of evaluation criteria of pavement design has allowed developing a methodology of evaluation of environmental safety in projects using slag instead of natural materials in the construction of pavement. The economic effect of the project of slag usage in road building gravel instead of natural granite is conducted during the building of the highway Kyiv-Odessa and is 635 - 655 thousand UAH.
