Road Restoration

Restoration treatments are used when the road’s quality has deteriorated past the point of preservation. Depending on the treatment selected, restoration treatments require removal of some or most of the existing asphalt layer. Each treatment is selected based on the needs and classification of the road.    

Resurfacing

• Restoration method that removes the existing pavement surface (minimum 40 mm, a deeper depth required if there is rutting) and places new asphalt to resurface the road. This removes major surface distresses such as potholes and large cracks.
• Over time, some cracking will re-emerge, which is completely normal. Some of these types of cracks are referred to as ‘reflective cracks.’ These cracks exist in the base of the road and are sealed as part of the Crack Sealing program.
• A greater depth of asphalt may be removed and replaced when roads begin to rut (greater than 15 mm), which is confirmed through measurements, not age. See how roads are assessed.
• The treatment lasts from six to 10 years.
• A typical restoration costs two to three times more than a preservation method. A restoration generally impacts residents for three to seven days, potentially longer if the concrete curbs, gutters, sidewalks or ramps are being replaced.
