Asphalt Pavement, also known as Hot Mix, is a simple blend of two main components; Molten Liquid Asphalt (the black glue or binder), and Crushed Rock or Aggregate.
The Hot Mix is then placed and compacted to form asphalt pavement.
Asphalt is a man-made material that is commonly used in road construction projects because it’s durable and easy to maintain. Asphalt pavement lasts between 10-30 years depending on traffic volume and quality of maintenance.
