2014 Pavement Repair Project

This year’s Pavement Repair Project is Phase II and will include overlays on 28 street segments. Phase I repairs included:

• Asphalt Rubber Cape Seal
• Crack Sealing
• Localized Patches
• Microsurfacing
• Refreshing Striping

Phase II in 2014 will address streets in poor condition that will need rehabilitation. Phase III in 2015 will focus more on streets in very poor condition that need reconstruction.

Work Needed to be Done

The Town’s Pavement Management Program had identified a list of potential street segment candidates categorized with Pavement Condition Index rated as “Poor” for the 2014 construction season that are appropriate for Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) and Rubberized Hot Mix Asphalt (RHMA) “overlays” and “mill and overlays” that are 1.5” or 2” thick.

HMA is a combination of aggregate bound together by asphalt cement, a product of crude oil while RHMA incorporates recycled rubber from tires.  An “overlay” is the placement of new asphalt over existing pavement with its edges ground so that the new asphalt conforms to existing grades.  A “mill and overlay” is the placement of new asphalt over existing pavement that is entirely milled to match the thickness of new asphalt.
