Year: 2017

The County of San Bernardino developed a systematic, cost-efficient, and effective road preventative maintenance program (Program) to achieve and sustain a roadway system with an overall pavement condition index rating of Good or above using road categorization, pavement management software, technological equipment, and analysis to reduce costs and raise efficiency. This replicable Program reduces road improvement costs from as much as $1 to 1.5 million per two-lane road mile for a traditional reconstruction to $195,000 ($65,000 every 7 years) per two-lane road mile for road preparation and chip sealing over the same road lifespan.
