Pavement condition survey: Clayton’s PCI rose to 80 after sustained $2.5M annual investment, consultant says
Summary
Withers Ravenel presented the town’s pavement condition assessment showing improvement from a PCI of 68 in 2019 to 80 in 2025 and recommended continuing a $2.5 million annual investment to maintain the network; the firm described treatment options and lifecycle modeling used to prioritize work.
A pavement condition assessment presented to Clayton Town Council on Sept. 16 showed a measurable improvement in the town’s street network after several years of sustained funding and targeted treatments.
Steve Lander, director of pavement management for Withers Ravenel, told council the town’s pavement condition index (PCI) improved from 68 in 2019 to about 80 in 2025 after a strategic program of treatments and an annual funding level of $2.5 million. The firm used the FHWA‑recommended long‑term pavement performance (LTPP) methodology and life‑cycle modeling to compare treatment scenarios and to prioritize lower‑cost preventive treatments that keep pavements in good condition longer.
Why it matters: The PCI score determines where limited maintenance dollars buy the most life‑cycle value. The consulting firm recommended keeping the current funding level to maintain an ~80 PCI, while noting that inflation and future cost changes are not modeled in the baseline scenario.
