Pavement Evaluation
In 2009, and again in 2013, Public Works completed a pavement evaluation and condition assessment of all of the public streets within the city. The assessment consisted of surveys of each roadway segment to measure roughness, rut depth and crack condition. The assessment provides an objective method to prioritize streets for future repaving.

The assessment consisted of surveys of each roadway segment to measure roughness, rut depth and crack condition. The assessment provides an objective method to prioritize streets for future repaving.
The data collected on roughness, rut
depth, and cracks was used to score each roadway segment with a Pavement
Condition Index (PCI) ranging from 10 to 100. The average PCI rating for
Dunwoody roads is a 66. Individual roadway segment scores range from 33 to
97.
Compared to the 2009 assessment, the
city’s investments in repaving have resulted in significant improvement in
the condition of its main thoroughfares with the percentage in good to
excellent condition increasing from 45% to 60%. Overall, roughly one-third
of city streets are in good to excellent condition, roughly one-third in
poor to very poor condition, and roughly one-third are in fair condition.

Current Year Paving Projects
-
Portions of Chamblee Dunwoody Road and Mount Vernon Road slated for paving this year have been delayed in order to coordinate with DeKalb County for the replacement of existing water main lines along these streets. The upgrade of these water utility lines is expected to begin at the end of this year. The resurfacing of these roads will follow the completion of the utility work.Future Paving Projects
