resurfacings

Road surface renewals

Resurfacings are instances of resurfacing—coming back to the surface or appearing again after absence.

The word applies literally to things emerging from underwater or underground, and figuratively to ideas, memories, or people reappearing: The resurfacings of old rumors plagued the campaign.

It also refers to the process of putting a new surface on roads, floors, or other worn structures.
