Staff told council the structural testing was done only on arterials and collectors, not on most residential streets.
Springfield city leaders received a pavement management briefing Wednesday showing an average pavement condition index (PCI) of 69 for the city’s roadway network and roughly 10.8% of centerline miles classified as poor or very poor, the vendor said.
