Narrative:
We were holding short of runway 2 on taxiway charlie. When cleared to taxi onto runway 2; we were unable to get the aircraft to move; despite being at maximum 2 engine breakaway thrust. We initially suspected that we may have had a stuck brake; but after we contacted maintenance; they told us that there were several aircraft that had been stuck in the same position after the recent repaving; and that there are low spots or depressions in the new paving. A tug was sent out to move us back about 25-30 feet; after which we were able to taxi the aircraft normally. After we were pushed back; we were able to observe ripples in the paving in the area where we were stuck. Use of any thrust in excess of maximum breakaway thrust was not possible nor considered due to close proximity of other aircraft/equipment/personnel behind us. This taxiway is unsatisfactory to use as a hold short point.
