Maintaining and upgrading roads to meet increasing traffic and user demand requires a surface that can be quickly and efficiently applied and provides a road surface that lasts year after year in all conditions, needing only simple but cost-effective maintenance.
Asphalt is the best solution for maintaining roads because it is quick to pave, provides cost-efficient solutions and is durable. The visco-elastic properties of asphalt are ideal for that purpose.
In Europe, most (if not all) steel and concrete bridges have asphalt surfacing on top. One of the main reasons for using asphalt on these bridges is to protect the steel and concrete structures from water and de-icing salts.
