Managing pavement conditions is a data intensive analytical process that identifies cost-effective treatments that minimize maintaining pavement quality.

UDOT manages 16,000 lane miles of pavement from multi-lane urban concrete interstates to rural two-lane asphalt roads. To accomplish this task, preservation, rehabilitation, and major rehabilitation projects are used to extend pavement life and delay a need for full reconstruction.

Page 7 UDOT engineers use data intensive analytical tools that identify costeffective strategies for roadway maintenance. Data from many sources is now available for use through one platform that allows pavement management engineers make strategic decisions about what projects to build, and to collaborate in real time. The data collections include a robust set of 3-D images representing roadway assets and annual average daily traffic counts.

The Department manages 16,000 lane miles of pavement from multi-lane urban concrete interstates to rural two-lane asphalt roads. Pavement Management Map Approximately $250 million is required annually to preserve this $20 billion asset. To accomplish this task the Department has used a philosophy that good roads cost less which means timely, cost-effective treatments minimize cost while achieving the desired level of Performance Measures A combination of Preservation, Rehabilitation, and Major Rehabilitation projects are used to extend pavement life and delay a need for reconstruction.

Once deterioration occurs, taxpayers will shoulder a much higher cost to repair or rebuild pavement and bridges. EXTENDING PAVEMENT LIFE “A Plan for Every Section of Every Road” Utah Highways are composed of 245 state highways. These highways are divided into 1,500 individual sections of varying length. Each individual section has its own history including when it was originally constructed, traffic volumes, type of facility (interstate, urban, rural), biannual distress surveys, and when the next preservation is scheduled. Good roads cost less. Once deterioration occurs, the cost to repair or rebuild roads is much higher.
