Department of Transportation - Pavement Preservation Program

Former Mayor Martin O'Malley and Transportation Director Al Foxx launched the Pavement Preservation Program in a residential neighborhood of Canton at the intersection of Dillon and South Clinton Streets. The ongoing initiative is designed to implement routine maintenance on roads that are in fairly good condition by preventing them from being in further disrepair. By implementing a planned strategy of cost effective treatments, the city's roadway infrastructure will be preserved in order to avoid more extensive and costly repairs. Transportation crews will restore streets throughout the city by milling and paving various roadways, permanently repairing potholes and sealing joints and cracks.)

Mayor & crew"This program will allow the Department of Transportation to allocate resources all across our city to help preserve and restore our roadways, said Mayor Martin O'Malley. "It will allow the City of Baltimore to pave 1000 square yards each week and approximately 12 miles of roadway over the next few months."

"Preventative maintenance is a necessary tool for pavement preservation," said Director Foxx. "We need to maintain the streets that are in good condition to delay the need for extensive repairs." The Pavement Preservation Program is the city's new tool for 'keeping good roads good'.

The Department of Transportation is responsible for approximately 1922 miles of roadways within the City of Baltimore. The Pavement Preservation Program is yet another example of the department's commitment to improving Baltimore's roadway infrastructure and 'keeping Baltimore moving safely'.
