Street Resurfacing and Pavement Management

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)

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)
Duncan Street (Buncombe Street to Hampton Avenue)

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.
