OK... I’ve looked at my atlas and I STILL can’t figure out where the 77, 35E and “AV” might be located. Can you clarify that code? lol
Here in the DFW area in 1980, we had about 52 days in a row of temps over 100; with many around 113-115. Didn’t damage the concrete roadways, but drove me crazy trying to water a 1/2 acre of grass with four sprinklers! Couldn’t water until near sundown because of evaporation and parboiling the foliage, so it kept me up until after midnight moving the sprinklers around.
I believe that Summer was followed by a Winter where the temps were in or near single digits for a couple of weeks. That hard freeze wiped out my pool pump and killed a lot of young shrubs, BUT the extreme temperature differences in only a few months did not cause damage on the roadways that many FReepers have mentioned occurs regularly in the Northern States.
Are the Northern States using asphalt just because it’s cheaper than reinforced concrete; even when they know it is not a suitable compound for the environment?

I believe the reference is to 35E and Cedar Ave in Apple Valley in the southeast area of the metro. This would be south of the Mall of America.
