[QUOTE="excat, post: 2587569, member: 29449"] We deal with horrible weather conditions to both extremes for road construction (construction as is what makes up the road). They can change the properties of the asphalt to deal with particular weather by adding more or less oils and other stuff, for a lot of cold freezing conditions, or a lot of hot conditions, etc, but we get so much of both, there's not a prime recipe for longevity of asphalt in Oklahoma. It's hard for asphalt that is designed to expand a lot in the heat without cracking to hold up contracted under long freezing conditions. This is how I had it explained to me when I was talking with a civil/road planner/engineer one day. [/QUOTE]
