City Begins 2023 Street Resurfacing

City of High Point Public Services

Department staff will have a busy spring, summer and fall as the street resurfacing project moves forward.

City street resurfacing started on April 3, 2023, on Whites Mill Road, Braddock Road, Oak Hollow Estates, Sherwood Forest, Banoak Heights and Tecumseh subdivisions.

Paving crews will work at various locations throughout the city through early December. City Council awarded the contract to Sharpe Brothers in March 2023, the fourth consecutive year that Sharpe Brothers has performed street resurfacing for the City.

In addition to repaving, work will include pavement markings, traffic signal loops, concrete curb repairs, asphalt milling, traffic control and adjustment of utility castings.

Fun Facts:

• This is the largest Resurfacing Contract in the City’s history, totaling $5.99 million this year.

• The contract totals over 36,000 tons of new asphalt.

• 43.9 lane miles of roadway will be resurfaced.

• 275 water valve boxes will be adjusted to the new asphalt surface.

377 manhole rings will be adjusted to the new asphalt surface.

• 30 percent of the asphalt mix is from recycled roadways, and it may also contain 5 percent roofing shingles.

• The asphalt is mixed at 290 degrees at the asphalt plant and arrives on-site at approximately 265 degrees. This makes a very hot summer for the resurfacing crews!
