Pavement milling is the process of removing a layer of the road surface to repair or improve it. A machine called a milling machine grinds up the old pavement, breaking it into small pieces. This is often done when a road needs resurfacing or when the surface has become worn out. The milled material can sometimes be reused to help build the new road surface. Pavement milling helps restore the road, providing a smoother and safer driving experience by removing damaged areas and preparing the surface for new paving.
