St. Paul To Begin Tackling 11 Of The 'Terrible 20' Roads
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- St. Paul officials are laying out their plan to fix about half of the city's "Terrible 20" roads.
Eleven roads will undergo maintenance beginning the week of Sept. 8, and the work is expected to run until mid-October.
Crews will repair roads using the mill-and-overlay technique, where the top layer of the street is removed and replaced with new pavement.
Officials say the process can usually take up to three days to complete for a single street -- depending on traffic, road width and weather.
