Every year the Public Works Department performs a partial depth mill and bituminous overlay process as part of the pavement preservation program. This process consists of milling approximately 2 inches of the existing pavement at the edge of the street and along the curb. Following the edge milling, a 2 inch lift of bituminous pavement laid across the full width of the street. This street preservation process is done on an annual basis by City crews, with the assistance of a paving contractor.

This webpage is intended to provide daily updates to residents on the 2025 Mill & Overlay project. All homes and businesses on streets being milled and overlaid were mailed a postcard on April 15, 2025, with some basic information and a link to this website. Watch this website for daily updates on the project progress. If you have questions or concerns with the project, please call 507-328-2450 or e-mail pwtocadmin@rochestermn.gov. We want to thank everyone for their patience as we complete this project. These dates are an estimate only and are subject to change.
