Road Repaving Projects
Existing asphalt streets within Fayetteville city limits are on a master schedule to be repaved or resurfaced every 15 years. This is called an asphalt overlay. Work may also entail microsurfacing, which involves laying down a protective coating that extends the life of the pavement. Following this maintenance cycle results in fewer complete street rebuilds and in lower costs overall.
Additionally, the Transportation Division recycles the asphalt. Old layers of asphalt that have been removed are milled, sold to asphalt plants, and reused for new paving projects.
