Main routes: I-70, Route 40, and Route 51
Illinois ran its government from Vandalia between 1819 and 1839, and the 1836 State House is the oldest capitol building left in the state. The city also marked the western end of the National Road, which still comes through as Route 40 alongside I-70 and Route 51. Driveways and parking lots make up the bulk of our work here.
A county seat with that much through traffic carries pavement in every condition. We take out what has failed, rebuild the base, and place hot-mix asphalt in lifts over compacted rock. Private roads, farm lanes and access roads at the edge of town get the same approach. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Older homes near the square often have drives that were patched more than once and now need the failed sections cut out and rebuilt. Newer ones on the edges usually just need the base corrected where water has been sitting. Either way we place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive, and shape the edges so they hold.
Driveway pavingLots serving businesses along Route 40 and Route 51 take highway traffic turning in and out, plus delivery trucks. We build base rock for the heaviest vehicle, plan entrances so drivers are not cutting across stalls, and grade water off the surface. Churches, shops and office lots get the same base-first approach.
Parking lot pavingAccess roads, private drives and farm lanes around the city carry loaded trucks on soft ground in spring. We grade, compact base rock in layers and crown the surface so runoff reaches the ditch. Hot mix goes on the heaviest-used sections, with chip seal or recycled millings on the longer, lighter stretches.
Road constructionIn a town like Vandalia, general asphalt work covers a lot of ground: shop and church lots, alley aprons, repairs along a curb line, overlays on older streets and pads for equipment. The approach stays the same: fix the base, lay the hot mix, roll it tight, finish the edges.
Asphalt paving
The Kaskaskia River runs through this part of Fayette County, and the flat farm ground around it drains slowly. Clay-heavy soils common across the region hold water rather than passing it along, and freeze-thaw winters lift pavement built on a wet base. We remove soft soil, compact rock in lifts and set grade so water sheds.
Before you sign anything, get the base depth and the compacted asphalt thickness on paper. Two bids that look far apart are often just two different pavements.
Typical ranges. Your Vandalia estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. I-70, Route 40 and Route 51 all run through Vandalia, and we pave on every side of the city and out into Fayette County. Driveways, parking lots, private roads and farm lanes are all part of the work. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
Hot-mix asphalt is a paved surface placed and compacted in lifts, and it handles heavy traffic. Chip seal is a sprayed binder with stone rolled into it, which costs less and suits lanes and low-traffic roads. We use both, matched to the traffic.
Typically a compacted crushed-stone base several inches deep on firm soil, with soft spots dug out first, and that holds for any Vandalia driveway. On clay soils that hold water, a thicker base and good slope matter even more. The estimate states the base depth so there are no surprises.
Only if the grade changes. Paving over a low spot in Vandalia leaves the same low spot in a smoother surface. We measure the fall first and tell you what it takes to move the water.
We pave all around Vandalia, across Fayette County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
