Weather plays a significant role in pavement performance, especially in the Mountain West where cold temperatures, snow, and dry conditions all contribute to surface stress. January is a key time to understand how these factors affect pavement throughout the year.
Cold temperatures can cause asphalt and concrete to contract, leading to cracking, while
snow and ice introduce moisture that may settle into weak points. Over time, these
conditions can reduce pavement durability and increase the need for repairs.
Recognizing how weather impacts your pavement allows for better planning and smarter
maintenance decisions. Proactive strategies can help minimize weather-related damage and extend the life of your surfaces.
