Asphalt pavement

Asphalt pavement is a type of road surface made from a mixture of aggregates, such as sand and gravel, and a sticky black substance called asphalt, derived from petroleum. It is commonly used for roads, parking lots, and driveways due to its durability, smoothness, and cost-effectiveness. The asphalt binds the aggregates together, forming a solid, flexible surface that can withstand traffic and weather conditions. Additionally, asphalt can be recycled, making it an environmentally friendly choice for infrastructure projects. Regular maintenance, like sealing cracks, helps prolong its lifespan and keep the surface safe for vehicles.
