Construction : 2025 Pavement Maintenance Program

The County’s Pavement Maintenance Program helps extend the life of our roads and improve driving conditions. This year’s work will include several types of maintenance on selected County roads, listed below.

Types of Road Work:

Hot Mix Asphalt (448 Resurfacing):
This is the most durable (and most expensive) paving option. Asphalt is made at a plant, delivered in heated trucks, laid on the road, and compacted with rollers. It’s ideal for roads with heavy traffic and lots of trucks because it resists wear and rutting.

Motor Paving (405 Resurfacing):
Also known as motor paving, this method uses a mobile mixing plant on-site to prepare asphalt, which is then laid and compacted. A chip seal layer (422) is applied on top afterward for added protection.

Chip Seal (422 Resurfacing):
In this method, the road is coated with a thin layer of asphalt emulsion, then covered with gravel. The gravel is compacted into place, and loose stones are swept up the same day. A second sweep is done about a week later to ensure a clean surface.

Asphalt Rejuvenation:
A special treatment is sprayed on roads paved in the last 1–2 years to restore flexibility and protect against weather damage. About 45 minutes after the spray, sand is applied to absorb excess material and improve traction. One week later, the sand is swept up.

Crack Sealing:
Hot sealant is poured into cracks in the pavement to stop water from seeping in and causing further damage.

Pavement Marking:
New road markings will be added or refreshed where needed to ensure safe driving conditions.

Status:

Various contracts will be awarded to various contractors.

Work will likely begin in early summer for most pavement maintenance contracts.
