FAQs

  • When choosing a street to be part of a resurfacing project, the City looks at many variables including pavement age, utility condition under the roadway, street drainage, pavement base condition, safety, and maintenance history among other things.  Roadways that are good candidates for resurfacing are ones with a pavement surface age of 12 - 20 years, a good pavement base, and newer utilities with little to no history of maintenance being required.

  • This depends on the length of the roadway being resurfaced, but typically the work is completed in a few days to a few weeks.  

  • The pavement preventive maintenance program is the name for the variety treatments the City uses to maintain pavements in better condition. The general purpose of the program is to extend the life of roadway pavements by keeping the good roads in a good condition. This is done by using more frequent but lower cost treatments when compared to a "do nothing" approach in which the roadway is left until it has failed and is then reconstructed. 

  • Typical resurfacing projects will include removing (milling) 1.5” - 2” of depth of the existing asphalt pavement and repaving the roadway with new asphalt.

  • Resurfacing (also known as a mill & fill) is just one tool the City uses as part of it's pavement preventive maintenance program. When a resurfacing is done on a roadway that is a good candidate for this treatment it can extend the life of the pavement another 10 - 15 years.

  • No. Water and sewer work is not typically done when completing a resurfacing project.

  • Typical resurfacing projects do not require tree removals.
