Real Asphalt Milling: Fixing Grade Problems Before Paving

Here’s a full asphalt milling job where we corrected grade problems in an intersection before paving. This intersection had multiple humps, low spots, and uneven transitions that needed to be fixed to improve ride quality and drainage before the paving crew came in. A lot of this job came down to carefully changing depth throughout the cut to blend the surface smoothly and eliminate problem areas.
