Asphalt overlay projects heat up after winter hiatus

The road projects are arterial overlays, a concrete repair process that is meant to lengthen a road’s lifespan by more than a decade. The overlay reduces the frequency of road maintenance from every five years, to every 15-20 years, Bekele said. The three road projects were initially scheduled to complete in the first half of 2025.

Looking ahead

The city resumed the project on Hedgcoxe Road in late April, and expects to complete it in mid-June. After Hedgecoxe, the city will move on to West Parker Road, followed by Midway Road. The city expects to complete paving Midway in August, Bekele said.
