repaved

Laid new asphalt

Repaved is the past tense of repave, meaning to pave again—to lay a new surface of asphalt, concrete, or stone over a road, driveway, or other paved area: The city finally repaved our street after years of potholes.

The work typically involves removing or covering deteriorated pavement.
