How long after laying asphalt can vehicles drive on it?

[Elias]

2 hours. Generally, asphalt will be mostly solidified about 2 hours after laying, so vehicles can drive on it without worrying about asphalt sticking to the car body or damaging the newly laid asphalt road. Some asphalt pavements laid with cold asphalt mixtures can be opened to traffic immediately after being fully compacted. Here is some related information: 1. Asphalt removal methods: You can go to a professional car detailing shop for cleaning, where they will handle it. You can also purchase tar remover and remove it yourself, but this can damage the car paint, so frequent use is not recommended. 2. Main uses of asphalt: The main use of asphalt, about 70% of it, is in road construction, where it is used as a glue or binder mixed with construction aggregate particles to produce asphalt concrete. Other major uses of asphalt include waterproofing, such as in the production of roofing felt and sealing flat roofs.
