If it\u2019s spring, it must be paving season! [see the video<\/a>]<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not unusual for us at vivaNext to get very excited about paving season because it is always a good news story. The fact is construction can be dusty and disruptive \u2013 but, just like seeing the leaves open up on the trees in spring \u2013 the surest sign that the heavy construction is nearing its end is when the paving crews arrive.<\/p>\n

Currently, as platform construction continues for the future vivastations<\/a> along Highway 7 in Vaughan<\/a>, the next segments of base-layer paving have begun between Edgeley Blvd.\/Interchange Way to Keele St. This paving will be completed in sections over the next two months and will include closures and detours.<\/p>\n

One question you may be asking is why do crews revisit a section once it\u2019s paved? The process happens layer by layer, which is why the crews will come back to the same location more than once. Because Highway 7 has to bear the load of regular traffic and heavy vehicles, we need to start with a solid base layer to make sure the road holds up over time.<\/p>\n

To create the red pavement<\/a> on the rapidways, we use a special pigment that is carefully mixed to achieve the right balance of rich red and rugged durability.<\/p>\n

Each step needs to be done in sequence, and takes a certain amount of time. While the paving itself doesn\u2019t take more than a few hours, fresh pavement can\u2019t handle traffic right away. Also, we plan the work outside of busy business traffic times of the week, and the day \u2013 for example, crews typically work overnight and on weekends \u2013 weather permitting.<\/p>\n
