Mill & Overlay

MILL & OVERLAY PROGRAM

MILL & OVERLAY

The mill and overlay repair is normally used on streets with a PCI of 65 and below (with the rating of 100 being used on a new street).

	Typically consists of a 1-1/2 inch deep mill to the outer 8 feet of both sides of the street.
	Milling aligns the existing concrete gutter flow lines with the pavement surface after the overlay.
	An application of a tack coat on the old pavement surface to create a bonding agent with the overlay.
	An overlay of 1-1/2 to 2 inches of asphalt over the entire pavement to form a smooth crown.
	The overlay restores structural capacity, skid resistance, proper drainage, and ride quality to the pavement.

ACCESS TO PROPERTY

Residents may have access to their properties occasionally interrupted during construction days. The contractor has been instructed to give residents notice prior to service interruption and to provide driveway access at the end of each construction day. However, if new concrete is placed in front of your driveway, you will need to keep off these surfaces for at least three days for light traffic and seven days for heavier traffic.

LANDSCAPE RESTORATION

Disturbance to landscaped areas should be limited to those area of curb, gutter and sidewalk repair only. The Mill & Overlay process will typically not disturb boulevard areas.
