The Town of Pelham completes the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) every three years, which establishes the existing condition of the road network within the Town.
The last PCI assessment was completed in 2023 and the average PCI Index of the Town’s Road network was 65 out of 100, which was a decrease from the 2019 average of 69. The 2023 Pavement Condition Study, completed by ARA, recommended that an annual investment in the road network of $8 million per year is required to maintain the average PCI at its current level.
The Town has made progress with the rehabilitation program with the increased road maintenance and rehabilitation budget since 2020, with an average of 7 km of pavement being rehabilitated each year, which equates to approximately 2.8% of roads within the Town.
Over the winter, the Town’s Road Network has gone through a significant freeze-thaw cycle that has impacted the road base and road surface treatment in areas throughout the Town. The standard mandatory road maintenance practice of applying salt and sand has added to the thaw cycle and increased the thaw of the road surface and sub-base. This has impacted the aging infrastructure and accelerated the deterioration of the road network.
