Mill and Pave Asphalt: Key Considerations Before Starting
September 6, 2025
The process of milling and paving asphalt is known as cold milling, followed by overlay. It involves removing the top-worn layer of pavement and applying fresh asphalt. It’s a highly effective method for restoring deteriorated surfaces, improving ride quality, correcting grades and slopes, and recycling reclaimed pavement (RAP). A Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) study found
