Every year roads are selected for resurfacing and milling to maintain their integrity. The Federal Highway Administration issued a position statement in late 2004 that encourages street and highway agencies to extend their dollars by the judicious use of maintenance treatments. Many departments have found that costs are two to ten times lower than rehabilitation, and that the preservation program results in a significantly higher overall quality road system. The micro-surfacing material used in Springfield is Ralumac®, which has been in widespread use since the 1980s.
"For more than 25 years, Ralumac® micro-surfacing has been the right treatment for many pavements, from residential streets to high traffic interstates." [See box at right and read more].
