2025 has been full of major milestone projects! Why is this innovation spreading so quickly? Because it is an insurance policy that is paying off. 💸 Check out what we’ve accomplished together this year: thejointsolution.com/j%e2%80%91band…

For most agencies, the first sign of a longitudinal joint opening means it’s time to crack seal. But with VRAM, that’s far from true. This article breaks down exactly why J-Band VRAM joint openings don’t need to be cause for concern. thejointsolution.com/joint-behavior…

Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Asphalt Materials! We’re thankful for the incredible asphalt plants, partners, contractors, and advocates who make it possible to extend the life of longitudinal joints with J-Band.

We had to share this classic Tim and Andrew selfie from Arizona this week 😎 It's true, J-Band VRAM is spreading fast out West. But the best part? More and more DOTs and engineers are saving time and money on joint repairs—and pavements across the country are lasting longer.

The Ohio DOT is making smart investments in durability. In the fall of 2025 alone, nearly 100 miles of VRAM have been applied on major ODOT highway projects. 💯 ➡ Discover why VRAM is trusted statewide: thejointsolution.com/odot-investmen…

This morning, J-Band VRAM was applied to Indianapolis' eastbound I-465 ramp down to Meridian. WHY? Because it is proven to extend the life of vulnerable lane-to-lane joints and edges. Curious? > thejointsolution.com/vram-joins-the…

Sealing asphalt to concrete curbs is tough. That’s why agencies are using VRAM to reinforce these vulnerable edges, reducing permeability and blocking water intrusion for longer-lasting pavement. 💪 Get all the details here > thejointsolution.com/asphalt-concre…

🚨 Big News from Baton Rouge! Louisiana becomes the 29th state to use VRAM, protecting a major investment on Wax Road with cutting-edge joint preservation technology. See how LaDOTD is building longer-lasting roads with VRAM👉 thejointsolution.com/ladotd-introdu…

OTEC was all about connection and collaboration! 🙌 We had a great time meeting up with engineers and applicators who share our passion for safer roads and smarter investments. Here’s to building safe and sustainable transportation networks. 🚗💡

You've got questions about VRAM — we've got answers. Stop by our booth (#237) to chat with Chad and Vince this Tuesday or Wednesday. See you soon! 📩p.s. You can always reach us at jbandinfo@thgrp.com @ODOT_Statewide #OTEC2025

Built Different? Absolutely. Not all roads are created equal. Some have VRAM under the surface. 💪 Here are some recent state route examples from Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. > thejointsolution.com/state-routes-b… #roadwork #pavementpreservation #VRAM #INDOT #IDOT #ODOT

In the @EngMgtInstitute's latest episode, Dave Henderson shares his insight on how pavement 'pre-preservation' is helping engineers stretch limited budgets & how trade associations are shaping data-driven strategies for engineers across the country. 🔊 bit.ly/TCEPEp297

When we say ‘non-tracking’, we mean it! VRAM stays where you put it. In under 30 minutes, traffic can cross the band, keeping operations on schedule. 📷 From the City of Raymond, Iowa’s first project!

A product for people with a long view. 📸 Sheboygan County, WI – stretching savings as far as the eye can see ⌛💵

Longitudinal joints can throw a wrench in your plans – a really expensive wrench. Why not stop them from being a problem in the 1st place? Save yourself time & money by applying a VRAM before you pave. It can keep that joint area strong, extending the life of your road surface.

Did you know that VRAM doesn’t need to "cure"? As soon as it cools (30 minutes max), it’s ready for construction traffic! Evergreen Roadworks applied the VRAM with Milestone close behind to pave over it with a 1.5” category 4 surface mix. 📍 @INDOT's SR-32 west of Lebanon

Here’s your solution to never-ending longitudinal joint maintenance. City by city, state by state, people are using VRAM because it's proven to extend the life of the joint area by 3-5 extra years, i.e. as long as the rest of the pavement. 📸 City of Elyria, OH’s 1st project!

Jersey County, IL is taking the extra step to prioritize driver safety by reinforcing rumble strips so they can save lives for longer. For stage 2 of Otterville Road's resurfacing, VRAM/LJS was applied to strengthen the longitudinal joint-foundations of the rumble strips.

The @OhioTurnpike's first VRAM application marks a data-backed move to strengthen its most vulnerable pavement joints and save long-term costs.💡Get the full scoop > bit.ly/4mSPyYS
