Many transportation structures collapse or sustain severe damage as a result of natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, wars, and similar attacks. These collapsed or severely damaged structures must be rebuilt and returned to service as quickly as possible. Water is used in the mix for cement-bound concrete roads. It is known that drought problems are emerging due to climate change and that water resources are rapidly depleting. Significant amounts of water are used in concrete production, further depleting water resources. In order to contribute to the elimination of these two problems, the usability of polyurethane resin binder in road pavement construction was investigated. Polyurethane resin binder road pavement is a new type of pavement that does not contain cement or bitumen as binders and does not contain water in its mixture. This new type of road pavement can be opened to traffic within 5–15 min. After determining the aggregate and binder mixture ratios, four different curing methods were applied to the created samples. After the curing, the samples were subjected to compression test, flexural test, Bohme abrasion test, freeze–thaw test, bond strength by pull-off test, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) test, SEM-EDX analysis, XRD analysis, and FT-IR analysis. The new type of road pavement created within the scope of this study exhibited a compression strength of 41.22 MPa, a flexural strength of 25.32 MPa, a Bohme abrasion value of 0.99 cm3/50 cm2, a freeze–thaw test mass loss per unit area of 0.77 kg/m2, and an average bond strength by pull-off value of 4.63 MPa. It was observed that these values ensured the road pavement specification limits.
