The Road Preservation Program

The pavement preservation program is a way for the Village of Woodlawn to extend the useful life of our roads at the lowest possible total cost. This is accomplished with routine maintenance at regular intervals instead of facing full depth replacement of the entire road.  Each repair option has different costs associated with them. All roads in the Village have been identified with one of the options below. The options are as follows:

• Crack Repair and Sealing: This work entails sealing existing minor asphalt pavement and cracks and then sealing the pavement.
• Cape Seal: This is a cost-effective pavement maintenance tool used to address fair to moderately cracked pavements, while providing a smooth, dense surface, having good skid resistance and long-lasting pavement service life.
• Mill and Overlay: This work entails milling the existing surface course of pavement and replacing it with a brand new layer of surface course asphalt.
• Full Depth Replacement: Entails excavation/removal of the existing road and/or curb and replacing these items.
