You can typically walk on new concrete after **24–48 hours**, but SK Concrete recommends waiting at least **3 days** for light foot traffic. For vehicles, the minimum wait before parking on new concrete is **7 days**. Full curing takes approximately **28 days**, during which the concrete continues to strengthen.
