ANNUAL PAVEMENT SURVEY GATHERS DATA ON STREET CONDITIONS IN SOUTH ARLINGTON
The Public Works Department recently completed the data collection phase of its annual pavement survey program . Data collection vehicles traveled roads in the target area collecting information on the type , extent , and severity of pavement surface distress ( i . e . cracks and ruts ). This year ’ s survey focused on south Arlington south of Interstate 20 .
The data is entered into an asset management system and combined with other factors to determine each road segment ’ s score , or Overall Condition Index ( OCI ), of 0-100 and help staff identify deficiencies , prioritize roadway projects , and monitor pavement performance .
Over the next few months , a 3rd-party vendor will analyze the data and provide up-to-date information on each segment ’ s condition .
Using technology to gather and record roadway data allows the City to develop a comprehensive and proactive approach to roadway management that ensures road maintenance budgets are spent wisely . Using this approach , the Public Works Department performed work on over 445 lane miles during fiscal year 2021 . Of these , 26 miles were improved through a capital improvement project , the remaining lane miles received maintenance work either by city staff or contractors .
