Forming a New Curb

Workers from the Milford, Connecticut Public Works Department use a curb formation machine to replace an asphalt curb at the end of an esplanade (or "island") on a city street on July 8, 2008. The crew ran out of asphalt in the machine near the end of the clip, and with none left in their dump truck (which I noticed), the last few feet of the curb could not be completed until July 11, when workers returned to complete the curb manually with shovels full of fresh asphalt (which is not seen in this clip, however).

Curb repair and replacement along the street was the last stage in a roadwork project that began in May 2008. Other roadwork included the removal of the old asphalt of the street, widening the street in some areas by taking a backhoe to the esplanade, and the repaving of the road. To see a video of the asphalt removal and repaving, recorded on three occasions from May through July 2008, use this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUtAxKqYkjY
