Upon the completion of the backfilling of an excavation in that portion of a paved street subject to vehicular traffic of any kind, and where the permanent replacement of the pavement is not immediately permissible or possible, the surface area of said excavation shall be temporarily hard-surfaced by installing an asphalt patch of not less than 2 inches in thickness. The temporary patch shall conform to the contour and grade of the surrounding pavement and shall be maintained such that it does not cause a safety or traffic problem. The temporary patch shall be completely removed upon installation of the permanent replacement pavement.
