Herriman reviews pavement‑preservation strategy, delays Rosecrest resurfacing until Jordan Valley project is complete
Summary
City hosts described a pavement‑preservation strategy that targets a PCI of about 75, defers work on roads below ~40 and delays Rosecrest resurfacing to avoid duplication of effort with a Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District project; a 30‑inch sewer line project and water‑line work are also underway.
City hosts and council members used the May 15 podcast to summarize Herriman’s pavement‑preservation approach and several concurrent infrastructure projects.
Speakers said a 2019 pavement condition index (PCI) study guides the city’s road maintenance strategy and that the city targets a PCI of roughly 75. They described the rationale for proactively treating newer roads to extend surface life and avoid more expensive reconstruction later — one host summed the approach as "spend a dollar now to save $7 later." Roads with PCI ratings falling below roughly 40 will be deferred to full reconstruction schedules rather than treated repeatedly.
The hosts explained the planned resurfacing of Rosecrest Road was postponed because a Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District project is scheduled to work in the corridor next year and would cause major disruption; the council chose to wait to maximize public dollars. Speakers cautioned the postponement will make Rosecrest rougher in the short term but avoids redoing newly completed work.
Other projects discussed included a major sewer replacement near 118th (a new 30‑inch line) that speakers said is on schedule, and an announcement that the eastbound connection at 1304th to southbound Bangerter is open again though still under construction and subject to temporary signals and no‑turn rules. The hosts also noted an upcoming secondary water line installation on Rosecrest Road between Main Street and 1304th, which could start earlier than expected and will affect adjacent businesses for several months.
Speakers urged drivers to follow changed traffic patterns, patronize open businesses during construction and observe temporary no‑turn and signal instructions. The podcast referred listeners to harriman.gov/construction-projects for an interactive construction map.
