repave
Redo road surface
To repave is to put down a new surface on a road, driveway, or other paved area: The city repaved Main Street last summer.
The work typically involves removing or covering deteriorated pavement with fresh asphalt or concrete.
They're repaving the parking lot, so we'll have to park elsewhere.
