Citrus County launches pavement-management portal to show road-condition data
Summary
The county unveiled a pavement-management transparency dashboard covering 1,851 center line miles using data from a countywide road survey performed in early 2025; the portal displays condition measures such as cracking, rutting and historical treatments and is intended to make maintenance decisions more transparent.
Charles Leazott, engineering operations manager in Citrus County's Technical Services Department, introduced a new pavement-management transparency portal that the county said will show condition data for every county-maintained road segment.
Leazott said the county manages 1,851 center line miles of roadway and that the portal displays tens of thousands of data points feeding a network-level model. "We want you to see what we see," Leazott said, explaining the dashboard's purpose: to make complex pavement-condition information understandable and to show how treatment decisions are made.
The dashboard draws on a countywide road survey performed in early 2025 and tracks multiple condition variables such as cracking, rutting and surface wear along with historical treatment data. Leazott said the system is a "living system" that will be updated as new data becomes available.
Why it matters: Officials said the portal aims to increase transparency around how road segments are prioritized for resurfacing and other maintenance; the program encouraged residents to explore the dashboard and ask questions.
What was not specified on air: The broadcast did not state how often the data will be updated, the procurement or vendor behind the survey, or how the portal will change prioritization or budget allocations in practice.
Next steps: The county invited the public to review the portal and provide feedback; Leazott said he would read viewer comments.
