Pavement management is a process of implementing a 3 to 5 year maintenance
plan for the roads in unincorporated Salt Lake County. This data helps our
road maintenance crew evaluate the road surface structure and helps
to maintain the integrity of each road. The program classifies the
roadways as to necessity of repairs of the surface.
Responsible for:
- 3 to 5 year road maintenance plans
- Street inventories and inspections
- Coordinates GIS (Geographic Information System)

How do you determine which streets will be repaved?
The pavement condition of the County’s
roadways is evaluated annually by Pavement Management. Evaluation
results are analyzed for severity of pavement defects and a long term
project list is created. Priority of each project is determined by
the severity of the pavement defects, traffic volumes, and the extent
of work required for repairs.
Why do you use Slurry Seal?
It lengthens the life of the road and increases the
skid resistance of the roadway. It is more cost effective than overlaying
the roadway unless the roadway is in bad repair.
Treatments defined
- Slurry - Roadway surface treatment that uses an oil and aggregate (usually sand) mixture to prolong the service life of an existing asphalt road.
- Chip seal - Roadway surface treatment that uses an oil mixture and coarser aggregate (usually small fractured gravel) applied to prolong the service
life and enhance the skid resistance of an existing asphalt road.
- Overlay - Placing and compacting a layer of hot mix asphalt on top of an existing pavement.
