Street Resurfacing and Pavement Management
Pavement management is an ongoing program to resurface, rehabilitate, maintain, and restripe city roadways.
The City of Greenville owns and maintains approximately 260 centerline miles of streets and a primary responsibility of the Engineering Division is managing the City's Pavement Management Program, which includes street resurfacing, restriping and maintenance treatments.
ROAD RESURFACING SCHEDULE FOR 2023-24
The City of Greenville’s annual street resurfacing program will start in August 2023, with 14.75 miles of roadway scheduled to be resurfaced. Approximately 13 miles of City-owned streets and approximately 1.75 miles of SCDOT-owned streets will be resurfaced through the Greenville Legislative Delegation Transportation Committee's (GLDTC) Municipal Match Resurfacing Program and the Neighborhood Infrastructure Bond.
The GLDTC provides a 50-50 match of funding from local municipalities. The City has allocated $6 million from its $32 million Neighborhood Infrastructure Bond (NIB) and approximately $1.1 million from the General Fund, which GLDTC will match for a total of approximately $14.2 million.
ProjectS
Micro-surfacing: A pavement preservation treatment, this technique is used for streets in good structural shape overall. The preservative treatment extends the overall road life by 5-10 years. Targeted roadways are:
- Innovation Drive (from Laurens Road to Millennium Boulevard)
- Warner Street (from McDaniel Avenue to McPherson Lane)
- Millennium Boulevard (from Laurens Road to Old Sulphur Springs Road)
Hot-in-Place Asphalt Recycling: This process rehabilitates deteriorated pavement. Benefits include:
- 30% more cost effective than conventional maintenance/rehabilitation techniques
- Reduces greenhouse gases by up to 30%
- Reuses 100% of existing materials
- Same day return to traffic
- Extends pavement life by 7-15 years
Targeted roadways are:
- Arlington Avenue (from Sumner Street to Anderson Street)
- Birnie Street (from Hanover Street to N Calhoun Street)
- E Camperdown Way (from the Bridge spanning Church Street to Hope Street)
- McCall Street (from S Academy Street to Rhett Street)
- N Leach Street (from Birnie Street to S Academy Street)
- N Textile Avenue (from Perry Avenue to Pendleton Street)
- Otis Street (from Augusta Street to Mission Street)
- Queen Street (from Perry Avenue to Birnie Street)
- S Textile Avenue (from Pendleton Street to Traction Street)
- Scarlett Street (from S Pleasantburg Drive to Legrand Boulevard)
- Sunset Drive (from Meyers Drive to Seminole Drive)
- White Oak Drive (from Wade Hampton Boulevard to E North Street)

- Pine Street (Mulberry Street to Frank Street)
- Springs Street (Woodlawn Avenue to Address Point 502 Spring Street)
- W Broad Street (McBee Avenue to S Main Street)
- W Hillcrest Drive (Welter Lane to Paris View Drive)
- Wilton Street (Small section for turning onto Ashley Avenue)
- Lawton Avenue (Douthit Street to S Academy Street)
- Grand Avenue (Eisenhower Drive to Lowndes Hill Road)
- Welter Lane (W Hillcrest Drive to Dead End)
- Hillside Drive (Laurens Road to Lowndes Hill Road)
- Grove Road (Augusta Street to Brookway Drive; Henrydale Avenue to End of City Limits)
- Richardson Street (W North Street to W Washington Street)
- W Washington Street (Richardson Street to N Main Street)
- Druid Street (Rutherford Road to Northwood Avenue)
- Fontaine Road (Parkins Mill Road to Cul-de-Sac)
- Ladson Street (Wilkins Street to W Prentiss Avenue)
- Brush Street (Halls Street to Alameda Street)
- Hawthorne Lane (Mills Avenue to Grove Road)
- Arlington Avenue (Anderson Street to Green Avenue)
Concrete Patching with Diamond Grinding: For concrete pavements that can receive full-depth concrete patch, a diamond grinding process renews a worn or slightly irregular surface. Targeted streets are:
- Arlington Avenue (St Francis Drive to Sumner Street)
- Grove Road (Brookway Drive to Henrydale Avenue)
- Ridgeland Drive (McDaniel Avenue to Cleveland Street)
- Belmont Avenue (Crescent Avenue to Cleveland Street)
Concrete Full-Depth Patching and Asphalt Overlay: Utilizing the concrete as a base product and installing full depth concrete patch in failing areas, then overlaying the concrete base with asphalt allows for easier maintenance of the street as a whole and a smoother ridable surface. Targeted streets include:
- Ware Street (Rhett Street to Dead End)
- Elizabeth Street (Garraux Street to End of Concrete Pavement)
- Hamilton Avenue (S Memminger Street to S Calhoun Street)

Pavement Condition Index (PCI)
As part of this program, streets are typically assessed on a five-year basis and assigned a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) rating between 20 and 100. A PCI rating of 20 indicates the worst condition and a rating of 100 represents the best condition. The City of Greenville contracted with Roadway Asset Services (RAS) to conduct a comprehensive pavement assessment in 2021 utilizing state-of-the-art, 3-D Laser Crack Measurement System Pavement Condition Survey vehicles.
Scheduling of Work
When a street is selected for improvements, a tentative schedule and the name of the agency managing the work will be posted on the City's website.
A day or two before paving begins, the contractor will post signs on the street or distribute door hangers to let residents know that work is about to begin. While work is being done on the street, residents are asked not to park or place yard debris in the street.
