I think you can drive on it after 7 days, but to fully cure is 28. I don't know if I'm remembering that right from school...I'm not on the construction side of things.

Technically, I don't think concrete ever stops curing. But after 28 days the strength increase is minimal.

The first part is right, but the 28 days is for how much the contractor is going to be paid. Breaking concrete cylinders is what I do for a living.

yea i take up for alot of engineering/construction issues, but the Essen debacle is laughable. there has been no work on it for 3 months. you can open a lane less than a week after concrete is poured.
