Description

  • CTDOT is responsible for maintaining pavement markings on approximately 3,715 centerline miles of on 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 16% of all line striping and nearly 52% of all symbol and legend pavement markings have exceeded their expected service life.

Performance Projections

In order to maintain a State of Good Repair, nearly 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

$62,916,000

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 * $0.50/LF = $48,500,000
Symbols:
3.4 million SF * $4.24/SF = $14,416,000

Measures & Goals

There are no Federal requirements at this time. CTDOT has set the following pavement marking condition goals:

  • 75% or more of line striping pavement markings in a SOGR
  • 75% or more of symbols & legends pavement markings in a SOGR
