Pavement Management Plan

Littleton maintains 161 miles of streets with strategies ranging from quick pothole fixes to full reconstructions. Pavement restoration strategies include: 

• Mill and overlay: Rejuvenates roads by grinding off and replacing the damaged top layer of asphalt. 
• Slurry seal: A protective mixture of asphalt emulsion, water, aggregate, and mineral fillers applied as a thin surface treatment to existing pavement. 
• Chip seal: Sealing cracks and preventing water infiltration by spraying a layer of asphalt emulsion and crushed gravel onto a road surface. 

2026 Highlights 

More than 10% of the city’s lane-miles will be addressed in 2026:  

• 16 lane-miles of mill and overlay;  
• 38 lane-miles of surface sealing; 
• 1.5 lane-miles of reconstruction;
• Completion of the second phase of the Euclid Avenue Complete Street Project 

Every three years, we hire a consultant to drive vehicles equipped with scanners and cameras down every street. The technology measures cracks, potholes, rutting, and surface weathering to create a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) score from 0–100 for each street. A 100 score is perfect condition, and a 0 score needs complete replacement.  

Littleton's current average: 63 (as of April 2026) 

This data tells us: 

• Which streets need work now;  
• What type of repair each street needs; 
• How much staff, materials, and funding are needed. 

Priorities shift. Some streets move to next year's list, others get added, and a few are postponed. We update the plan regularly to use the most effective repair methods, keep project sizes competitive for better pricing, and respond to changing conditions.
