After years of vehicle traffic and harsh weather conditions, asphalt streets often need resurfacing. This a cost effect way to rejuvenate an asphalt street and provide a new smooth travel surface for the motoring public. The process includes milling and removal of approximately 2-inches of old asphalt. Workers then apply a fresh layer of asphalt and use a heavy rolling machine to give the new asphalt a uniform appearance. Streets are selected based on pavement condition, street age, traffic volume and street classification (thoroughfare, collector, residential, etc.). For an individual street, the process is normally completed the same day. Notification of work is provided via door hangers prior to the initial work.

Major repairs requiring street reconstruction are normally funded through the issuance of debt (municipal bonds) and are performed by a private company. The city prioritizes street construction projects annually based on a number of factors including pavement condition, street age, traffic volume, and street classification (thoroughfare, collector, residential, etc.). Street reconstruction projects are undertaken as funding allows and are chosen by the Benbrook City Council.
