I could feel the heat coming off it when I stood next to the repaved section. They didn’t repave the parking area at the edge. Opened to traffic again, seems firm enough to drive on at 160⁰F.

    Road temperature is not air temperature, on a sunny day, go out, measure the road and compare it to the air above it.

      OP posted fresh asphalt dipshit. Road way hotter than the air, the road hasn’t even cooled yet.

      Guess you don’t know the working temperatures of asphalt, but it’s rather fucking hot, borderline tire melting temperatures hot.

      They should have kept that road closed for another day or three while it cooled down.
