Now. Sleet. Freezing rain. Slush. These can put anxiety in the heart of any driver. Commutes take longer, leaving the neighborhood can be a chore. Make sure to stay back from plows and move your car off of roads that will be plowed before the bad weather hits!

Spring will be here before you know it. Have you thought about your maintenance and paving needs? Now is the time to make those plans.

According to Bridgestone Tire, road salt not only can rust your car, it can rust the road infrastructure. A well maintained roadway, with a full and sealed layer of asphalt, is your best defense against the possible damage of road salt.

“Automobile owners aren’t the only ones who need to worry about corrosion.  Road salt can also damage bridges, parking garages, railroads, and other public transportation infrastructures. This corrosion damage is estimated to cost the highway and automobile industries $3.5 to $7 billion per year in the U.S.”[1]

Potholes grow when the ice melts and re-freezes. Freezing water expands just a little, then seeps into the cracks when it melts. Then the cycle continues. That’s why roads are particularly bad in early spring, especially after a wet or snowy winter.
