Annual Resurfacing Program

Quick Links

Project Areas

Ann Arbor's annual street resurfacing program, using a data driven approach, resurfaces roads by removing and replacing asphalt. Unlike the city’s street preventative maintenance program, which seeks to extend the existing road surfaces life, the resurfacing program focuses on street surfaces that are either in very poor condition or have come to the end of their useful life.

This program may also improve the road by:

Extending the entire road structures lifetime.
Upgrade stormwater management to move water away from the road.
Update curb ramps to help people of all ages and abilities compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Implementing strategies identified in the Transportation Plan.

The program is funded primarily by Ann Arbor's Street, Bridge, and Sidewalk Millage and is limited in scope by funding and other infrastructure priorities.

The city maintains a road conditions and improvements dashboard of all the projects now underway and planned for the future.

One Year Prior to Construction

Expect city staff and consultants in the area inspecting pipes, preliminarily marking pavement with white spray paint, taking core samples, and surveying to gather data.

Year of Scheduled Construction

Tree trimming will take place from January to March to ensure an 18-foot clearance over the roadway for equipment and safety during construction.

City crews or contractors will clear heavy brush, document site conditions, and mark the area.

Staking, videotaping, and utility markings (colored flags and paint) will be done and continue throughout construction. Do not disturb these markings or flags.

Construction Impacts

Mail delivery will be maintained.

"No Parking" sign will be installed and on street parking will not be permitted throughout construction.
Sprinklers, invisible fences or features not visible in the right-of-way must be marked with spray paint or flags throughout the duration of the project by the resident. The city may not reimburse damage to private features in the right-of-way.

Landscaping in the right-of-way is recommended to be transplanted prior to construction leaving at least a 2-foot area behind the curb. If it is not feasible to create this area contact staff to discuss.
Trash, Recycling, and Compost bins are required to be clearly marked with your address and placed out the night before your scheduled collection day to accommodate construction activities.
Door notices will be provided in advance of driveway, pavement, or other major work affecting residents.

Resurfacing treatments vary.  

Partial depth removal

Also referred to as a “mill and fill" is when the top layer (about 2 inches) of existing pavement is removed and replaced with new asphalt.  

This is typically used for streets that show surface cracks and has suitable base asphalt.  

Full depth removal

All layers of asphalt are removed and replaced but the stone aggregate base is left undisturbed. On occasion, bad aggregate is removed and replaced, which is called an undercut or plunge cut and used to create a suitable base for new asphalt.  

Project Areas

All work is anticipated and subjected to change due to weather or conflicts. Updates will be posted once a new schedule is determined.
