Some of UF's roads got a makeover during winter break.
After most students scattered home for the holidays, five sections of road were resurfaced, which cost UF a total of $993,000.
It was the most significant resurfacing on the main campus in the last ten years, said Jeff Bair, project manager for the Physical Plant Division.
The sections that were repaved are Stadium Road from Gale Lemerand Drive to Pugh Hall, Buckman Drive from Pugh Hall to University Avenue, Newell Drive from Museum Road to Union Road and two sections of Museum Road: from Radio Road to Village Drive and from Gale Lemerand Drive to Beaty Towers.
The roads had not been resurfaced in more than 20 years, Bair said.
The new resurfacing should last 25 years or more, he said.
Bair said the project began on Dec. 19 and was completed Saturday.
Crews should be finished reapplying the stripes, crosswalks and with other finishing touches within a month, Bair said.
Bair also said UF plans to replace the concrete dividers that separated the bicycle lanes from regular traffic on Stadium Road and Buckman Drive.
