MCDOT will remove and replace deteriorated curbs and gutters, grind up the old roadway surface, further evaluate the road substructure for damage, patch where needed and reconstruct the roads with hot mix asphalt. Damaged sidewalks will be replaced or repaired. In addition, road drainage will be modified where there is no underground drainage.
Residents may elect to have their driveway
aprons and lead walks resurfaced under a program that allows residents to have
the work done using the County’s competitively bid prices. More information
about the Driveway Apron and Lead Walk program is available online.
MCDOT assesses the condition of all 5,300 lane
miles of County roads every two years assigning ratings to each road using a
formula-based scoring system. The scores then serve as the basis
for prioritizing the department’s maintenance, rehabilitation and resurfacing
efforts.
MCDOT’s road condition ratings help direct
resources to maintain the high quality of good roads and target the worst roads
for rehabilitation and repair. Every dollar spent by the County to keep a road
in good repair reduces future repair costs that would have to be spent to
restore a more deteriorated road. More information is available online.
