How Weather Affects Highway Paving and Why Tar & Chip is the Solution

Highways are exposed to a wide range of weather conditions, from scorching summer heat to freezing winters. Many traditional paving materials suffer under extreme temperatures, leading to cracks and potholes. Tar & Chip paving is designed to withstand these challenges, providing a reliable and durable surface that performs in all seasons.

Key Points:

  • Heat Resistance: Unlike asphalt, Tar & Chip does not soften in high temperatures.
  • Cold Durability: Tar & Chip can handle freeze-thaw cycles better than asphalt, reducing cracks.
  • Water Drainage: Its porous nature prevents water buildup, reducing erosion and wear.
  • Snow and Ice Grip: The textured surface offers better traction for vehicles during icy conditions.
