Safety
Visibility – Because concrete reflects light, it increases visibility.
Traction – Concrete pavements provide superior traction. They are built with added surface texture and never rut, eliminating water accumulation and reducing hydroplaning risks.

Lower Cost, Higher Value
Initial Cost – Because concrete is so strong, concrete pavement requires less construction material, which reduces costs. Concrete can cost up to 15% more to construct, but lasts about 100% longer.
Long-Term Value – Longer life expectancies and minimal maintenance make concrete pavement the best value in the long-term.
Durability – After one month, concrete begins to harden over time. Concrete pavements often exceed their expected lifespan and traffic loads.
Speedy Paving – In as little as 12 hours, concrete pavement can be built and open to traffic—three times faster than asphalt pavements.
Ease of Repair – Concrete’s durability reduces the need for maintenance and repairs. When work is necessary, the scope is typically smaller than asphalt repairs.
Fuel Savings – The hard surface of concrete pavement can increase truck fuel efficiency, reducing fuel costs.

Versatility
Flexible Lifespan – Depending on a project’s needs, concrete pavements can be designed to last as many as 50 years or as few as 10.
Whitetopping – Placing a thin layer of concrete over asphalt is a fast, cost-effective way to improve old pavements.
Restoration – The lifespan of concrete pavement can be multiplied up to nine times through restoration.

Environmentally Friendly
Local Resources – Concrete makes use of local materials, not resources from distant parts of the world.
