Bridge Repair
Using American Road Patch to Repair Bridges
BRIDGE JOINTS
American Road Patch presents a revolutionary solution in the realm of bridge maintenance and repair. As the final sealing measure, it offers an unparalleled advantage in expediting bridge joint repairs—effectively eliminating the conventional downtime associated with road closures for curing processes. This innovative patch adheres securely over repaired areas, creating a water-impermeable seal that guards against the penetration of debris and moisture, which are common culprits in undermining repair longevity. Its robust design ensures durability that withstands the test of time, providing a repair that can last years, potentially extending towards indefinite service life. By simplifying the repair process and delivering enduring results, American Road Patch significantly enhances the efficiency and reliability of bridge infrastructure upkeep.
BRIDGE FRICTION
American Road Patch not only excels in sealing and extending the lifespan of bridge repairs but also plays a crucial role in enhancing safety. Its application over metal plates on bridges is a testament to its versatility. When applied, it introduces an added layer of friction, mitigating the slipperiness that often plagues metal surfaces. This feature is especially vital in preventing vehicular skidding during adverse weather conditions, such as rain, snow, or ice, which can lead to hazardous travel situations on bridges. Clients have repeatedly turned to American Road Patch for this dual functionality—securing the integrity of the bridge's structure while simultaneously safeguarding the traveling public by providing a more secure driving surface. This innovative approach not only promotes safety but also underscores the product's adaptability and effectiveness in addressing multiple facets of bridge maintenance and safety concerns.

As the temperatures start to cool across most of the United States, now is the perfect time to get ahead of winter road damage. Freeze–thaw cycles, snowplows, and de-icing chemicals are just around the corner — and they’re some of the toughest challenges for road surfaces.
That’s why it’s smart to make your American Road Patch repairs before the first snow hits.
ARP bonds tightly, sealing out water and debris so your repairs don’t break down under traffic or winter weather.

What If You Wait Too Long?
Maybe winter crept up faster than expected. The good news? It’s still possible to use ARP in cold weather.
Here’s how:
Apply a conventional fill material as usual.
Peel off the protective layer on ARP to expose the self-adhesive surface.
Stick it directly over the repair and tamp it down.
If it’s too cold for proper adhesion, simply warm the area with a torch or machine before application.
That extra step allows ARP to bond securely — even when the temperature drops.
Best Practice vs. Backup Plan
Best: Apply ARP now, before pavement temps drop. This is the easiest window for lasting repairs. No torch, no extra equipment. Just a simple application that locks in strength to withstand snowplows and winter weather.
Still Works: If you’re already in winter, heat the area with a torch or machine before application. ARP is designed with a strength layer, but remains flexible and is easy to work with regardless of the season.
