        abstract = {Microsurfacing has been employed globally as an effective pavement maintenance technique. This review paper examines the advantages, disadvantages, and critical factors for the successful implementation of microsurfacing. It provides a comprehensive history of microsurfacing and discusses its evolution over time. The paper details the materials involved and elaborates on the application process. By synthesizing current research, the paper highlights the efficacy of microsurfacing in maintenance programs. Furthermore, microsurfacing can address environmental and financial concerns. The paper provides recommendations for future research aimed at enhancing the application and performance of microsurfacing, with particular emphasis on its cold-applied method and the incorporation of polymers in the bitumen.},
