Asphalt Pavement (sometimes called blacktop) is a combination of aggregate—stone, sand or gravel—bound together by a small amount of asphalt cement, a product of crude oil.
Asphalt cement is heated and mixed with aggregate at a special facility, and then the mix material is trucked to the construction site where it is spread and compacted into a finished pavement.
Traffic is typically permitted on a new asphalt road as soon as the pavement has cooled—a matter of hours after construction. Asphalt is smooth, quiet, sustainable, perpetual, and the most cost-effective material for our roadways.
