Tarmac over cobblestones

Jambonjunior · 2024-09-24 17:31:14

I just passed by a street in Dublin that until recently was cobblelock. It's just recently been covered by tarmac. I'm just a bit surprised. Is there any protections on cobblestone? Is it common for the council to make changes like that?

They usually lift the stones beforehand for re-use elsewhere in the city.

Fully covered or in part?
If they need to access pipes/cables/etc they do a first fill with asphalt in case the fill material settles - asphalt is flexible, and will bend rather than break up - and are meant to put the proper surface back later.
That last bit is sometimes forgotten though…
