I could feel the heat coming off it when I stood next to the repaved section. They didn't repave the parking area at the edge. Opened to traffic again, seems firm enough to drive on at 160⁰F.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just wait until it get twice as hot this summer.
Asphalt is laid somewhere around 300F, so if it truly got twice as hot it would melt the road and everyone’s tires.
Used to be a paver and I can confirm that shit is HOT, only gets worse once you hit it with water. The steam will give you blisters as you work it
I bet you're fun to have a conversation with.
