LIST OF ROADS
Grind (mill) and pave is a cost-effective way to extend the life-cycle of the road surface. The top layer of asphalt is removed using a milling machine. A fresh layer of asphalt is then applied and compacted. The City uses the grind and pave process to correct surface defects like potholes and cracks. It allows for the rehabilitation of the asphalt surface without full-depth reconstruction. The removed asphalt is recycled and re-used.
