I got to thinking, does anyone make a continuous road resurfacer? I'm thinking like a series of machines that can be trucked in and hooked up. The first one grinds up the road surface, the second one picks up the debris and grinds it up further, the third one heats up the ground up debris and injects tar, the fourth one lays down the newly rejuvenated road surface, and on the end is a steam roller the width of the road surface laid down. Seems like several miles could be done in a day this way rather that over months/years.

The issue is...usually the road surface is the least of the issues. The road surface is the easiest to fix. The road bed, especially the drainage is the problem.
