How Long Does a Paved Road Last?

paving-of-roads

How long will your paved road or driveway last? Exceptional installation is the key factor in determined the longevity of a road. What are some best practices for asphalt or concrete paving of roads? What materials last longest?

Regular Maintenance

Whether using asphalt or concrete, consistent maintenance will make the biggest difference. Paving of the roads involves more than laying down asphalt or concrete. When the roads begin to crack or the winter damages structural integrity, contact a paving professional to seal and repair the road.

Winters are especially brutal to roads. Snow and ice melt into small cracks and holes. As the temperatures drop, the water freezes. This expansion causes the small cracks to grow larger, sometimes into large dangerous potholes. If possible, have a professional seal the road before the winter season strikes. Once winter is over, begin to repair any damage.

Concrete vs. Asphalt Paving

If you maintain the road concrete can last as long as three decades. Asphalt will last closer to fifteen to twenty years. In both cases, though, be sure that you seal and repair every year. You might find that over time the driveway will lose is aesthetic appeal. You might choose to replace the entire road if it is beyond repair.

Hydroblasting

Sometimes you can grind down the topmost layer of the concrete, leaving behind stronger concrete. However, another option is hydroblasting. Hydroblasting will lengthen the life of your concrete road. A silica fume concrete overlay will be placed over the road after the contractor identifies any weak areas. A road that has been hydroblasted may last for fifty years.

Follow a regular maintenance schedule to ensure the longest lifespan for your road. Call us today with any questions.
