New Asphalt Driveway Cure Time | Hunker
Give Asphalt Time to Cure. A new asphalt driveway needs six to 12 months -- depending on weather conditions -- to fully harden and cure. You can walk on new asphalt after 24 hours, but vehicles should be kept off for three to five days. During the first 30 days of curing time, vehicles should not be repeatedly parked in the same spot.
