Columbus is continuing an aggressive resurfacing program. See below for streets to be paved between now and November as well as some to be paved beginning in March or April 2011. Please watch for crews who will be paving and installing accessible curb ramps. Other municpalities and jurisdictions in central Ohio are conducting resurfacing programs as well.

Crews will post No-Parking signs three days before paving operations begin. Cars parked in the way on the days indicated by the signs may be impounded or towed to the next street.

Paving basically takes place in two phases: milling and filling. Milling operations scrape off and save old pavement for recycling, leaving a rough but drivable surface. Drivers, pedestrians and cyclists should be cautious when navigating milled streets; the pavement may be uneven and casements such as manholes will be higher than normal.

The filling or paving phase usually takes place 2 to 9 days after the milling. Depending on circumstances, one or two courses of new pavement may be placed. Temporary pavement markings are sometimes placed before permanent striping is put down.
