Street paving refers to the process of resurfacing roadways in urban areas with new asphalt or concrete. It is done to repair worn surfaces, improve drivability, and extend the life of road infrastructure. Paving projects are undertaken by city public works departments, contractors, and transportation agencies.
Asphalt paving involves applying a smooth asphalt surface to roads, driveways, parking lots, trails, and other surfaces. It requires laying an asphalt mixture of aggregate rock and liquid asphalt cement. Asphalt paving is a common choice due to its affordability and ease of maintenance.
