On The Road With Jeremy Huckaby
Preserve Now or Pay Later: Rethinking Pavement Budgets
"When you think about roads and asphalt, it's really similar to buying an appliance — you're going to pay more for it, but it's not going to last as long as it used to. Our approach is proactive: we want to keep your good roads good for longer."
We've Noticed...
-
Asphalt today ages faster chemically than roads paved decades ago — even before the first visible crack
-
Agencies chase the loudest complaints, while good roads quietly slip into the same decline
-
New pavement wins elections — but it isn't always the smartest use of limited dollars
-
Rejuvenators get lumped together as "just another sealer," when the chemistry underneath varies widely
Our Conversation
In this interview, we explore:
- Why the "worst-first" mindset can cost agencies more over time
- What's actually changed in asphalt chemistry over the past 20+ years
- Why a road's deterioration clock starts before it's even driven on
- What separates a true rejuvenator from a surface-level sealer
- Why two roads the same age can be in completely different condition
