Default Expansion Joint Question

Remove the existing expansion joint at least to half depth.
Abrade and clean the concrete edges. *Install backer rod to

The expansion joint where the driveway meets the front of the
garage has
deteriorated. Both are over 35 years old.


My plan is to slightly grind down what is left of the joint then
fill
it. My question is, what should I use to fill the joint? There
are also
some gaps in the joint.


I live in Upstate N.Y. and would like to do this before the
harsh
weather comes in. Any advice is greatly appreciated.


Bob


Ditto except I'd recommend Sikaflex Self-Leveling Sealant
