<div class="content"><span style="padding-left: 50px;">(COLUMBIA, MO)</span> - Due to weather concerns, Capital Paving, contractor for the City of Columbia Public Works Street division, will now begin overnight mill and overlay pavement maintenance at 5 p.m. Monday, July 21.<br /><br />A previous <a style="white-space:nowrap" href="https://www.como.gov/CMS/pressreleases/view.php?id=9316">press release</a> had listed a start date of July 17.<br /><br />Mill and overlay involves grinding off the top layer of old pavement and applying a fresh layer of asphalt. Once the new surface is in place, crews will return to add fresh striping.<br /><br />Work is scheduled to begin in the campus area and progress north. This overnight project is expected to take approximately three weeks, followed by a second phase covering a different set of streets. The list of phase two streets is expected to be published in late July or early August.<br /><br /><strong>List of streets</strong><br /><br
