What is capital paving?

Capital paving refers to large-scale paving projects funded as part of a capital improvement plan by governments, municipalities, or private entities. These projects typically involve the construction, resurfacing, or major repair of roadways, parking lots, or other paved surfaces. Capital paving projects are distinguished from routine maintenance by their scale, cost, and impact on public infrastructure. They are usually planned and budgeted for over multiple years to improve transportation networks and public safety.
