Description

  • CTDOT is responsible for maintaining pavement markings on approximately 3,715 centerline miles of State maintained roadways
  • Pavement Markings include:
    • Line striping
    • Symbols & Legends (arrows, crosswalks, etc.)
  • CTDOT pavement marking applications are either water-based by State forces and Epoxy by Contractor

State of Good
Repair (SOGR)

In-laid epoxy pavement markings installed within 6 years, epoxy pavement markings installed within the past 3 years and water-based pavement markings installed within 1 year are classified as being in a SOGR. This is based on expectations of retroreflectivity life and wear. Retroreflectivity is a measure of the amount of light reflected by a surface back to the source of the light.

Marking Age

  • More than 50% of all line striping and nearly 74% of all symbol and legend pavement markings have exceeded their expected service life.

Performance Projections

In order to maintain a State of Good Repair, about 32 million linear feet of line striping and 1.1 million square feet of symbols & legends epoxy pavement markings need to be remarked each year. Currently, approximately 30 million linear feet and 640,000 square feet are remarked each year.

Asset Valuation

$109,128,000

Asset value is estimated using the replacement value method. For pavement markings, replacement value is the product of square footage and unit construction cost considering epoxy only.
Line striping:
97 million LF * $1/LF = $93,896,000
Symbols:
3.4 million SF * $4.5/SF = $15,232,000

  • Based on funding as of 12/31/23
  • "Current Funding" shown in the graphs is limited to funding programed to address State of Good Repair. Projected performance is expected to be greater due to asset improvements funded through CTDOT's Capital Program which are not captured. The Department will soon be able to capture this funding through a project asset data system in development.
