This includes $15 million for the <br /> pavements in general plus an additional $5 million for high volume highways <br /> in urban areas. A smaller investment would result in fewer miles of pavement <br /> overlays. <br /> Pavement preservation program supplement: $15 million ~ <br /> <br /> The Oregon Transportation Commission set the goal of maintaining 90 percent of <br /> state highway pavement mileage in "fair" or "better" condition. The most recent <br /> (2006) Pavement Condition Report found that 87 percent of state highway mileage <br /> was in fair or better condition. <br /> Historical pavement performance data has suggested that between 500 to 550 <br /> centerline miles of state highway needs to be rehabilitated annually to maintain <br /> statewide pavement conditions due to normal deterioration. If this deterioration <br /> rate is not matched by improvements completed by pavement rehabilitation <br /> treatments, the overall condition of the state highway system will decline. <br /> <br /> The high cost of asphalt and fuel decreased the number of miles the State <br /> Highway Preservation Program could resurface in 2007 and 2008. It is anticipated <br /> that the percentage of pavements in "fair" or "better" condition in 2008 will decline <br /> by a few percentage points. If this trend continues (i.e, fewer than 500 to 550 <br /> miles of pavement are repaved each year), state highway pavement condition <br /> could be much lower by the middle of the next decade: as low as 75 percent "fair" i <br /> or "better." <br /> An estimated additional $15 ~ . ~~~~~~~~~H~~H~~Y~~ . <br /> 9 x <br /> milli n w i I I I l w D T 4 _ <br /> o a o 0 0 to ~y <br /> ~ ~iP <br /> resurface about 40 more r ~ ~-y , <br /> e <br /> lane miles of state highway ~ ~ ~~.a <br /> - <br /> ~Yw <br /> at today's high asphalt and ~ ~ <br /> fuel cost.
