When you\u2019re repairing your parking lot or installing a brand\nnew one, it is important to create a time table. You have to know how long to\nclose your business or how long the parking lot will be out of commission.\nAsphalt paving is not a long process. However, there are things that you need\nto know about freshly paved asphalt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>How Long Does Asphalt\nTake to Dry?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Asphalt only takes about three days to dry. Of course, the\ntime of year must be taken into consideration as well. In high temperatures\nwith high humidity, it may take much longer for the asphalt to completely dry.\nIt is also important to realize that while the asphalt may only take a few days\nto dry, it can take up to 6 months to fully settle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Should You Take\nAction in the First 24 Hours?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After the first 24 hours, you do want to be careful with\nyour asphalt. After all, it isn\u2019t completely dry. You can walk on the pavement\nwith no problems as long as you are not wearing heels or cleated shoes. These\ntypes of shoes can damage your brand-new lot. You should also wait at least 3\ndays before allowing cars to park on the lot, giving the asphalt time to dry.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>What Can You Do in\nthe First Few Months?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first few months, you want to take extra precautions\nwith your asphalt parking lot. This will keep your lot durable and stable for\nyears to come. While heavy equipment and trucks can park on your lot, you do want\nto pay attention to how long that equipment remains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Freshly paved asphalt can be a wonderful asset to your property for years to come, so be sure to pay special attention in the first few months.
