Why doesn the repaving look finished?
Project paving occurs in two steps, First, temporary cold asphalt mix is placed on the backfilled area to temporarily restore the roadway service. The temporary asphalt is removed and final asphalt paving is installed over the trench. The Contractor attempts to match the existing pavement but this isn’t always possible. Older pavement tends to become “gray” and new asphalt is darker in color. If your street is concrete, steel plates will be placed on top of the trench in order for the concrete base to cure, prior to final restoration. All pavement repairs are installed to city standards, inspected and approved by the Public Works Department prior to completion of the contract and before final payment is made to the Contractor.
