Curing. Adequate means shall be provided to protect the microsurfacing from damage by traffic until the mixture has cured sufficiently so that it will not adhere to or be picked up by the tire of vehicles. Normally, microsurfacing accepts straight rolling traffic on a 0.5 inch thick surface within one hour after placement. Stopping and starting traffic may require additional curing time. All rut-filling and level-up material and first lift in two lift areas should cure under traffic for at least 24 hours before additional material is placed. During the curing time, the temperature cannot drop below 32ºF. If temperatures drop below 32ºF, this time does not count towards the curing requirements. Any damage done by traffic to the microsurfacing shall be repaired by the Contractor.
