Full depth reclamation
Fall 2026
A full depth reclamation (FDR) rebuilds more of the street than a resurfacing project. The existing pavement and base materials are ground up, mixed together, and compacted. Then, a new layer of pavement is added on top. This process can fix deeper pavement problems that resurfacing cannot.
