Think Chicago has crappy roads? You should check out the streets in St. Louis, Missouri.

The outer road along Interstate 44 near Six Flags St. Louis is freshly paved -- with asphalt made from recycled swine manure, reports the AP.

Pace Construction Co., together with Innoventor (an engineering and design firm), is responsible for creating what is believed to be the first asphalt ever created from pig poop.

And while the animal waste may stink, the idea doesn't....

Why? Not like you're going to be able to tell. It's gonna look like the same asphalt you see every where else. It's genius!
