Can AR be used in cold climates?
AR has been successfully used in some of the coldest regions of the U.S., such as Alaska and Nebraska. In the Flagstaff, Arizona area (>7,000 ft. / 2,134 m. elevation), the winters have extreme freeze/thaw conditions. AR has better temperature sustainability than conventional asphalt. The State of California has also successfully used AR in the high Sierra Mountains, where its performance has been remarkable as well. Internationally, AR is being used to pave highways in Siberia Russia, China, northern Spain, Germany, Canada, Sweden and Portugal.
