The City of Beavercreek will resurface approximately 9.3 miles of residential streets and replace 8,255 feet of curbs in 2025 as part of its annual street resurfacing and curb replacement program. The city has allocated $2.5 million for the project, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of October 2025.
Following a competitive bidding process, the lowest asphalt bid came in at $90.50 per ton—a 9% decrease from the 2024 price of $105 per ton. Initially, the city planned to resurface 7.36 miles of roadway based on last year’s prices. However, the cost reduction has allowed the project to expand by an additional 1.5 to 2 miles, totaling 9.31 miles. Despite this decrease, asphalt prices remain significantly higher than in 2020, when the cost was $72.50 per ton—an overall increase of 31.7% over five years.
“The price of asphalt directly impacts how many streets and curbs we are able to resurface annually,” said City Engineer Nick Smith. “We always do our best to address as many roadways as possible while working within our budget.”
The streets selected for resurfacing are determined by pavement condition ratings (PCR), an engineering evaluation based on visual inspections to assess roadway deterioration. Streets with the lowest PCR scores receive priority for resurfacing. The city follows the Ohio Department of Transportation’s (ODOT) evaluation procedure for PCR assessments.
To meet its long-term goal of resurfacing an average of 10 miles of roadway each year, the city has steadily increased funding for its street resurfacing and curb replacement program.
“Asphalt typically lasts between 25 and 30 years,” said Smith. “To keep Beavercreek's residential roads in good condition within that lifespan, we need to repave 10 to 12 miles each year.”
The city remains committed to maintaining safe and reliable road conditions for residents. A list of streets and curbs included in this year’s project, along with answers to frequently asked questions, can be found here on the city's website.
