What is Asphalt Paving?

Asphalt is a composite material commonly used to surface roads, parking lots and airports. Asphalt is made from stones, sand, and gravel and is held together by liquid asphalt cement. It’s durable so roads can last forever. It’s quiet, it’s smooth and it’s safe. Asphalt is the most recycled material in the US.
