I could feel the heat coming off it when I stood next to the repaved section. They didn't repave the parking area at the edge. Opened to traffic again, seems firm enough to drive on at 160⁰F.
Lol, no. Tires momentarily contacting hot asphalt while rolling on it will not significantly lower the surface temperature of hot asphalt. The road paving process produces T⁰ unevenness while spreading asphalt ... notably because of flow of asphal from the uneven T⁰ in truck loads waiting typically 1 hour before being dumped ... then carateristincs of flow in the paving machine ... and ... civil ing. ... whatever.
