Mill & Overlay Notice: Asphaltic Overlays 2021

The City of Norfolk has hired Ramsy with Mainelli Wagner to complete a mill and overlay project on a number of our city streets and two parking lots.

Project Information

This project includes milling off one to two inches of the existing pavement and the installation of new pavement. The new layer of asphalt is a maintenance measure used to help extend the life of the existing roadway.

  • Driving over the pavement after it has been placed is not advisable until after the contractor has finished rolling it, which is completed almost immediately after the pavement is placed.

  • Driving on the pavement too soon may result in loose asphalt being kicked up onto your vehicle or create markings on the new pavement.

  • The pavement will be soft for the first day and vehicle motions, such as power turns, while stationary may deform the surface.

  • During this process, please do not park on the street until the next day after paving has been completed.

  • Detours may be required per some of the areas listed below.

  • More details will be released in advance of the work.
