Retarred Roads

Retarred roads have longer lifespans because the new asphalt layer restores surface integrity, improves water resistance, and enhances load-bearing capacity.

Over time, road surfaces degrade due to UV exposure, oxidation, and traffic wear, leading to cracks and potholes.

Retarring seals small cracks, prevents moisture infiltration, and rejuvenates the binder, slowing further deterioration.

Modern retarring methods, such as hot-in-place recycling, also improve adhesion between layers, reducing material breakdown.

With proper maintenance, a retarred road can extend its lifespan by 10–15 years, delaying costly full reconstruction.
