How soon can I walk on new concrete after it's poured?
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.
