What are the curing requirements for concrete pavement in Virginia?
Cure concrete pavement surfaces with approved materials (e.g., white PE film, or clear/opaque PE film Nov 1–Apr 1) immediately after finishing and before sheen disappears; maintain curing for 7 days. Protect edges after form removal. In cold weather (<40°F), prevent surface temps from dropping below 40°F for 72 hours, then 40°F for 48+ hours with insulation/blankets. In hot/dry/windy conditions, apply curing medium ASAP after finishing. Forms must stay in place ≥12 hours before removal [1,3]
