Pavement Management
Pavement management programs aim to extend the lifespan of roadways and to minimize the cost of maintaining a viable road surface. A robust pavement management program can reduce the cost of maintaining a road by almost 30% over a 60-year period. Pavement management, along with assessments of utilities, sidewalks, and curbs helps to prioritize road maintenance and reconstruction projects.
