The City of Clearwater annual street resurfacing program is designed to prevent deterioration of roadway wearing surfaces. The process of resurfacing includes milling a roadway and replacing with an asphalt layer. This provides a protective coating and maintains the integrity of the roadway’s substructure. Resurfacing allows for an improved ride and safer roads for residents and visitors of the City.
Streets that are scheduled for resurfacing in this contract were determined using the City’s pavement management consultants, citizen requests, and staff observations. All areas have been determined to warrant inclusion by an inspection and prioritization process performed by engineering staff.
