I don't know if you know the roads of NYC but I can't see ANYTHING lasting more than 10 yrs on The Brooklyn Queens Expressway between the Kosciusko bridge and the Varranzano Narrows.. Nothing. Ever. I am not being sarcastic or ironic, I CANNOT believe.
Grew up in Detroit, the weight of what Michigan allows on their roads is way more than NY I bet, I think it’s the highest in the nation. They can do it, no one wants them to is all. I know that foundation is key also, it’s not just the topping but what goes under it is what makes it so durable as well.
