The vaulted Arch of Kabah stands as a gateway to the ceremonial road to Uxmal.  The ceremonial roadways were elevated paved paths 2-8 feet above the ground, 15 feet wide, and up to 60 miles long.  The roads connected various important ceremonial centers.   The road surface was made of natural lime which the Mayans hardened with water and pressure from large stone rollers.  The sides of the road were faced with rough stone.
