Repaving Main Roads
Repaving
The Division of Highway Services (DHS) periodically repaves main roads throughout the County. Repaving adds 1 1/2" to 2" of new asphalt to the existing road surface and generally follows the procedures listed below:
- Evaluate roadway condition
- Determine necessary repairs
- Mill (grind off) entire surface if necessary or
- Mill tie-ins along the curbs and at each intersection
- Adjust the utility covers to the new asphalt grade
- Pave a new asphalt overlay
- Re-stripe the traffic markings
Benefits of Repaving
- Improved traction, surface texture and appearance
- Improved smoothness and ride quality
- Waterproofed surface
- New wear layer to protect underlying pavement from traffic, weather and oxidation
- Extends life of dry, weathered surfaces
