Asphalt Maintenance & Joint Sealing

Crack sealing, joint repair, and waterproofing that keep highway corridors and bridge decks sound between resurfacing cycles.

Highway-Grade Pavement Maintenance

Sealing is the work that buys a road another decade. Cristiano & Son handles bridge deck joint sealing, crack sealing of bituminous concrete pavement, deck waterproofing, and expansion joint installation on CTDOT corridors and municipal infrastructure across Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.

Most of it happens inside live traffic. Our crews work to DOT specifications on highway shoulders, bridge approaches, and deck surfaces, with a traffic control plan and a closure window for every shift. We coordinate scope, sequencing, and acceptance directly with state and municipal engineers.

What We Do

  • Filling joints and cracks in bituminous concrete pavement
  • Joint and crack sealing of bituminous concrete pavement
  • Gutter-line sealing for bridges
  • Membrane waterproofing (woven glass fabric)
  • Membrane waterproofing (sheet, torch-applied)
  • Asphaltic plug expansion joint systems
  • Preformed joint seal and joint seal replacement
  • Traffic control coordination and active-roadway protocols

Why It Matters

Small pavement defects turn into big structural problems once water gets in and freezes. Targeted crack sealing and joint repair, done to spec, adds years to a road surface and pushes off the cost of a full mill-and-overlay. We bid this as a stand-alone scope or fold it into our bridge and guardrail packages on CTDOT jobs.
