El Paso County Maintenance Program
As in the past, El Paso County’s maintenance program includes the following work items: concrete improvements to curb, gutter, and sidewalk; pavement maintenance to protect and extend the life of paved surfaces including overlays, slurry, micro-surfacing, and chip seals; gravel road maintenance and rehabilitation; striping, shouldering, patching and other maintenance needs, such as signal and drainage maintenance. Toe process for prioritizing paved roads for repair and rehabilitation will remain a cost benefit analysis per our Pavement Management System (PMS), which annually evaluates the entire paved road network and prioritizes based on cost-benefit algorithms.
