🏁 Asphalt Paving Completion & Striping – First National Bank of Scotia, Central Ave, Colonie NY
At Egan Paving, we are proud to wrap up our two-day commercial paving project at the First National Bank of Scotiaon Central Avenue in Colonie, Albany NY. This high-traffic location needed a fast, affordable, and durable asphalt resurfacing — and we delivered.
Here’s how we finished the job, what customers should know about fresh asphalt, and how to keep a new lot looking great for years.
🔨 Final Asphalt Work in Colonie NY – Compaction & Surface Finish
After laying a new layer of hot asphalt over the existing surface yesterday, today was all about finishing the pavement to perfection.
✅ We ran multiple passes with heavy rollers to achieve a smooth, compact, and even surface.
✅ We ensured proper slope and drainage to prevent standing water or premature wear.
✅ We double-checked edges, curbs, and transitions for a seamless result.
This ensures the parking lot is durable, safe, and ready for customers — all without the time and cost of a full replacement.
🕒 How Long Should You Wait Before Driving on New Asphalt?
A common question we get from customers across Albany and Colonie is:
“How long should we let the new asphalt set before using it?”
Here’s what we recommend:
Foot traffic: OK after 24 hours.
Vehicle traffic: Ideally wait 48–72 hours, especially in summer heat.
Full curing: Takes ~30 days, but the lot can be used well before that.
We advised the bank to keep vehicles off the lot for 2–3 days to let the asphalt firm up and avoid impressions or scuffs.
🖍️ Parking Lot Striping – Finishing the Job with Visibility & Safety
Once the asphalt was set, we applied fresh, high-visibility striping to complete the project:
✅ Parking stalls with crisp, reflective lines.
✅ ADA-compliant accessible spaces.
✅ Directional arrows for smooth traffic flow.
✅ No-parking zones and crosswalks for safety.
The result? A clean, professional, and customer-friendly lot that makes a great first impression.
🛡️ Protecting Your New Asphalt Lot in Albany NY
We reminded the First National Bank of Scotia team about important maintenance steps to keep their new lot in top shape:
Sealcoating: Apply after 12–18 months to protect against weather and wear.
Re-striping: Refresh lines every 2–3 years or as needed.
Routine inspections: Check for small cracks or drainage issues before they become big problems.
With proper care, their investment will last for years — and Egan Paving will be here when they’re ready for future maintenance.
