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.

    Asphalt is laid somewhere around 300F, so if it truly got twice as hot it would melt the road and everyone’s tires.

      Used to be a paver and I can confirm that shit is HOT, only gets worse once you hit it with water. The steam will give you blisters as you work it
