Paving / Asphalt Superintendent

Dumb question, but why are roads paved grey and black? Is there an actual reason for it?

Asked by blindz over 11 years ago

Asphalt is black simply because of the petroleum thats in it.It will turn grey due to the uv rays from sunlight slowly drying it out.Having recycled asphalt in the mix when its put down only speeds up the aging process but because its cheaper almost all roads have it.

How long does it take to put down one lane of asphalt one mile long?

Asked by Big D over 11 years ago

an average paver speed when laying asphalt is about 19' per min.A mile is 5280' so do the math but take into account waiting on dump trucks to bring more mix.

Have you heard of an Asphalt Recycler? Do you think they are effective or too much money. Here is an example below http://www.angelobenedetti.com/

Our HOA got a quote in May of 2014 of $523,000 to repave the roads in our HOA. Given the precipitous drop in petroleum prices in the last few months, how much might we expect prices to drop today?
