THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 18, 2023 Page 7 PROJECT | FROM PAGE 1 cluding some major thoroughfares such as parts of Main and Pleasant streets, Mountain Avenue and Holden Street across from the central Fire Station, included. The work includes "milling" the streets, in preparation for repaving. According to an online source. Milling is the process of removing the top layer of asphalt to a specifi ed and even depth without disturbing the underlying subbase. ] This allows new asphalt to be laid down without increasing the height of the road and saves you time if the subbase doesn't need to be fi xed. While this causes temporary uneven travel surfaces and raised castings, workers take the time with signage and often road cones to try and warn drivers of the short-term situation. "It is certainly an inconvenience, but in the long run, we are going to have many newly repaved streets when the work is complete," one Malden city offi cial said Wednesday. It will continue to take a bit extra time to get around the city for the rest of the summer into Pleasant Street is milled and ready to be repaved today. the fall, as the work continues, but the dividends will be paid "down the road," literally.
