Road Surface Recycling had been working to repair sections of the Kingsway using a process known as ‘hot-in-place’ asphalt recycling in which old and new asphalt is used together.
The process is quicker and uses much less asphalt. But the company is leaving Sudbury due to what it calls unreasonable delays with the project.
In response, the city said it needs time to ensure the road material the company is using meets specifications.
Frank Crupi, Road Surface Recycling co-owner, said a work stoppage was put in place last week by the city, one of several put on the project.
"The City of Sudbury wants to do some additional testing that is going to take four weeks,” Crupi said.
“They gave us an out to leave and they would pay for our demobilization when we come back -- if we come back. And we can't sit here and wait for four weeks. There is just too much lost opportunity. We have other contracts to attend to."
