2. Milling and Paving Division

The Milling and Paving Division of Public Works is in charge of the Capital Improvement Program to maintain the City roads. The roads are classified using a Pavement Condition Index (PCI), which is a numerical value between 0 and 100. The higher number the better the pavement condition, the lower numbers represent the level of degradation.

The City hired VHB to do a survey of all municipally maintained roads in 2013. The data collected is maintained through Hartford's GIS system. The link below shows the 2016 current PCI conditions based on degradation values calculated through the Pavement Management software. The software takes into account a number of values based on the 2013 survey and can be used as a tool to forecast when the roadway will require maintenance.

To report any unsafe and dangerous road conditions such as potholes, sink holes, etc., please contact Hartford 311 at (860) 757-9311. You can also submit directly online to Hartford 311.
