Uneven Concrete on Highways? Fix It Fast Without Full Replacement
Uneven concrete on highways isn’t just a rough ride—it’s a serious safety and liability issue.
Sunken slabs, shifting joints, and uneven surfaces can lead to vehicle damage, water drainage problems, and increased risk for drivers. Left untreated, these issues only get worse and more expensive to fix.
But full replacement isn’t always the answer.
At Granite City Concrete Raising, we lift and stabilize highway concrete using polyurethane foam—restoring smooth, even surfaces without shutting everything down for days.

Why Highway Concrete Sinks and Shifts
Highways are exposed to constant stress from traffic, weather, and ground movement.
Over time, the soil beneath the concrete weakens or washes away, causing slabs to settle unevenly.
Common causes include:
- Heavy vehicle loads and constant traffic
- Water infiltration and erosion under slabs
- Freeze and thaw cycles affecting the subgrade
- Poor soil compaction during construction
- Voids forming beneath the concrete
Once support is lost, sections of concrete begin to sink, creating uneven surfaces and hazards.
If you’re seeing uneven areas on highways, similar issues may also be present in nearby structures like municipal concrete surfaces or parking and access areas. We can address those as well to keep everything level and safe.

Signs Highway Concrete Needs Lifting
Not all damage requires replacement. In many cases, lifting is the better option.
Look for these signs:
- Uneven slabs creating rough transitions
- Sections of concrete sinking or settling
- Water pooling on the roadway
- Gaps or separation at joints
- Visible voids or hollow spots beneath slabs
- Increased wear in specific sections
If these issues are present, it’s important to act early before the damage spreads.
Our Fix: Highway Concrete Lifting with Polyurethane Foam
We don’t tear out sections of highway—we stabilize what’s already there.
Our concrete lifting process uses high-density polyurethane foam to raise and support slabs from below.
1. Drill
We drill small, precise holes in targeted areas to access the void beneath the concrete.
2. Lift
We inject expanding polyurethane foam, filling empty spaces and lifting the slab back to proper alignment.
3. Patch
We patch the holes cleanly, leaving the surface smooth and ready for use.
That’s it—no major demolition, no heavy equipment delays, and no extended downtime.
Most projects are completed quickly, and the surface is ready to use immediately after lifting.

- Reduces downtime compared to full replacement
- Minimizes disruption to traffic flow
- Extends the life of existing concrete
- Addresses the root cause beneath the slab
- Improves safety and ride quality
- Cost-effective compared to reconstruction
- Fast, clean, and efficient process

Highway Concrete Lifting FAQ
Yes. In many cases, uneven highway slabs can be lifted and stabilized using polyurethane foam. This avoids the time and cost of tearing out and replacing large sections of concrete.
Our process is fast and targeted, which helps reduce downtime and limit traffic disruption. Because the surface is ready to use immediately, closures are often much shorter than with replacement.
Yes. The foam is designed to support heavy loads and stabilize the base beneath the concrete. It helps restore support and prevent further settling under traffic conditions.
Water infiltration is a major cause. Over time, it washes away soil beneath the slab, creating empty spaces that lead to sinking. Freeze-thaw cycles and heavy traffic also contribute.
Yes. We can also address nearby structures like municipal concrete and commercial access areas to ensure consistent, level surfaces.
Most lifting projects are completed quickly. Once finished, the surface is ready to handle traffic immediately, which helps reduce delays and closures.
In most cases, yes. Concrete lifting is significantly more affordable and less disruptive than full replacement, while still providing long-term stabilization.
If large voids are present, we can use our void filling service to stabilize the soil before or during the lifting process.
