4 CURRENT STATUS OF THE STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM Description of System There are approximately 38,566 centerline (CL) miles of roadways in New Jersey. NJDOT maintains approximately 2,316 CL miles of roads, commonly referred to as the state highway system. Most of the remaining mileage is under the jurisdiction of counties (6,649 CL miles) and municipalities (28,539 CL miles). Other mileage consists of toll roads including the Garden State Parkway (173 CL miles) and the New Jersey Turnpike (149 CL miles) administered by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, the Atlantic City Expressway (46 CL miles) administered by the South Jersey Transportation Authority, the Palisades Interstate Parkway (12 CL miles), and mileage maintained by bridge authorities (33 CL miles). Finally, park roads account for approximately 649 CL miles. To get a better idea of pavement quantities, lane miles rather than centerline miles are used (1 mile of a 2 lane road represents 2 lane miles). As shown in Figure 1 below, NJDOT maintains about 10% of the total statewide lane mileage, but approximately 41% of all traffic, including a high percentage of heavy trucks, is carried on NJDOT maintained roads.

5 Assessment of the State Highway System Evaluation of the New Jersey state highway system is based upon data collected on state maintained roads and stored in the Pavement Management System. Analysis of this data to assess current pavement conditions considers the following functional adequacy indices: IRI (International Roughness Index) estimates roughness as perceived by vehicle occupants by using lasers to determine the actual variations in the pavement surface from a perfectly flat condition, measured in inches per mile. SDI (Surface Distress Index) assesses surface distress and visible deterioration by evaluating cracking, patching, faulting, shoulder drop, and joint deterioration. SDI is reported on a scale of 0 to 5 (5 is a perfect pavement free of any distress). Rut Depth measures depths of grooves primarily in vehicle wheel paths. Skid Number measures the pavement surface frictional characteristics. While all of the indices listed above are considered in selecting locations and types of pavement treatments, IRI and SDI are most indicative of functional adequacy and are used to evaluate the system status. IRI is a national standard supported by the Federal Highway Administration and SDI is a New Jersey standard used for many years in roadway assessment. The analyses discussed herein utilized 2011 road data to evaluate the state highway system consisting of approximately 2316 centerline miles of roadway. In terms of pavement quantities, this amounts to 8410 lane miles of mainline roadway, 4086 miles of shoulders, and 563 miles of ramps that are state owned and maintained. The criteria shown in Table 1 below were used to evaluate the mainline roadway condition. Status Deficient (Poor) Fair TABLE 1 - CONDITION CRITERIA Condition Index Criteria (IRI = International Roughness Engineering Significance Index, in/mi; SDI = Surface Distress Index, 0 5 Scale) IRI > 170 OR SDI 2.4 (95 IRI 170 And SDI > 2.4) OR (IRI < 95 And 2.4 < SDI < 3.5) Good IRI < 95 AND SDI 3.5 These roads are overdue for treatment. Drivers on these roads are likely to notice that they are driving on a rough surface, which puts stress on their vehicles. These pavements may have deteriorated to such an extent that they affect the speed of free flow traffic. Flexible pavements may have large potholes and deep cracks. These roads often show significant signs of wear and deterioration, and may have significant distress in the underlying foundation. Roads in this condition will generally be most costly to rehabilitate. These roads exhibit minimally acceptable ride quality that is noticeably inferior to those of new pavements and may be barely tolerable for high-speed traffic. These pavements may show some signs of deterioration such as rutting, map cracking and extensive patching. Most importantly, roads in this category are in jeopardy and should immediately be programmed for some cost-effective treatment that will restore them to a good condition and avoid costly rehabilitation in the near future. These roads exhibit good ride quality with little or no signs of deterioration. A proactive preventive maintenance strategy is necessary to keep roads in this category as long as possible. 2

6 Analysis results are presented in tabular form in Table 2 and graphically in Figure 2 below. TABLE 2 Functional Adequacy of NJ State Highway System (Based on Roughness and Distress) Road Condition (Two ections) (Two ections) % of Total System Deficient by Roughness Alone % Deficient by Roughness & Distress % Deficient by Distress Alone % Total Deficient % Total Fair/Mediocre % Total Good % Total State System % Source: NJDOT Pavement Management System, 2011 Data Note: Mileage in Table 2 represents tested mileage which is slightly less than system mileage (4663 out of 4665 and 8407 out of 8410) due to inaccessibility of some areas for testing. FIGURE 2 These results underscore the severity of the functional deficiency (47% of the system). Similar analyses using data collected over the last 11 years show that while the overall deficiency has remained significant over time current efforts are beginning to reduce deficiencies (see Figure 3 below). 3

8 PAVEMENT FUNDING Programmed funding in fiscal year 2012 for pavement activities is detailed in Table 3 below. Actual project costs broken down by program categories are shown on pages 6 through 11. TABLE 3 Programmed Pavement Funding for Fiscal Year 2012 (Actual costs broken down by projects are shown on pages 6 through 11) Program Category Highway Capital Maintenance - Betterments (State Funding) Highway Capital Maintenance - Pavement Preservation (Fed. Funding) Highway - Operations Projects (State Funding) Highway / Rehab & Reconstruct - Capital Program Mgt. Projects (State & Fed. Funding) Description This is an ongoing program of minor improvements to the state highway system for miscellaneous maintenance repair contracts, repair parts, miscellaneous needs for emergent projects, handicap ramps, and drainage rehabilitation/maintenance. This program provides funding for eligible federal pavement preservation activities which help to keep New Jersey's highway system in a state of good repair. This is a comprehensive program of providing renewed riding surfaces to state highways to prolong the life of the pavement and provide a smoother ride for users of the system. This program funds larger scale projects administered through Capital Program Management which are primarily involved with pavement restoration. Funding $10 $6 $70 $255 Totals $341 5

9 WORK COLETED IN FISCAL YEAR 2012 The Department s Operations Division administers highway capital maintenance and selected resurfacing projects. projects which are more involved with regards to required project documents and scoping and rehabilitation/reconstruction pavement restoration projects are administered through the Capital Program Management branch. Each of these types of projects directly related to pavement system improvements is broken down and described by program categories in the sections which follow. Fiscal Year 2012 Highway Capital Maintenance Projects As described in Table 3, Highway Capital Maintenance dollars were spent in fiscal year 2012 on pavement-related maintenance work administered through the Operations Division of NJDOT. In-house maintenance crews regularly performed a variety of preventive maintenance tasks to extend the life of pavement, including the following: Sweeping and drain cleaning to keep water away from travel lanes. Patching potholes to keep the riding surface intact and prevent intrusion of moisture into the pavement layers. Quick-set concrete to patch and repair bridge decks. In addition, specialized maintenance work was performed through contracts awarded and administered through Operations, including the following: If-And-Where resurfacing contracts statewide administered through Regional Operations personnel to quickly address emergent conditions. Crack sealing and longitudinal joint patching to prolong pavement life. Ultra-thin overlays, including Microsurfacing, to restore the pavement surface and improve ride quality. Diamond grinding of concrete pavement to improve ride quality, skid resistance, wet weather visibility and to reduce tire noise.
