The second day of road construction is now finished. The second coat was put on quickly and the two different machines did flatten things out nicely. The smaller one seemed to try to get hit by the larger one. I think he was trying to see how close he could get trying to get the right a way from the big guy. Our street to the east of us has not been done. That street stretches almost from end to end of the town. I think they will need to wait for the short streets, east and west, to dry out. Maybe the word is called cure, as the asphalt cools down and shrinks down into a solid street. Barney and I walked on it last night while the dog gets his last outing for the night.

Glad you and Barney got out for a walk on the new asphalt.
Your post jogged my memory. Georgia 400 was built before my dad retired. Most folks from our small town were AFRAID to drive on when it was first opened. No one could imagine driving a speed of 55 mph!!! For several months, Daddy would be the only commuter. That surely is not the case any more! lol
Nice walk and pix of machinery.
It's fun to check road lying and leveling with roller. And anyone would like to walk on a newly laid just myself being one.
