Delta Mist was applied from July 19 to 23 to Old Billerica Road, from the s curve, then from Noreen Rd to town line; Middlesex turnpike, town line to approximately pump station; Plank St.; Hartwell Rd, south to The Edge Sports Center; and Springs Rd, from VA to the Middlesex Community College driveway.
Delta Mist is an emulsified version, allowing for spray-applied topical rejuvenating seal that penetrates the surface and softens the asphalt binder to improve cohesion while retarding crack propagation of the pavement surface.

Work estimates for the week of August 1 include Sunset Road, Alaska Ave, and Oregon Ave, .as well as a binder course on Friday, July 30, weather permitting
The Reclamation process is one of DPW’s routine methods for reconstructing neighborhood roadways. This will involve adjusting structures like manholes / catch basins. The pavement will be pulverized in place, graded and resurfaced in two courses.
Cold in Place is a relatively new technique that mills approximately 6 inches of the existing asphalt, rejuvenates the material, and immediately repaves the roadway. In addition to recycling the material in place, this process allows traffic to be back on the roadway within an hour. Then the roadway must have a final course of asphalt applied a week later.
