Pavement Condition

Pavement condition is based on data submitted to the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS), specifically the International Roughness Index, cracking percent, faulting, and rutting. During the midpoint performance period in 2020, the Colorado Department of Transportation revised the Pavement Condition Targets which were originally set in 2018. On February 2, 2023, the NFRMPO Planning Council adopted the Revised 4-Year (2022) Pavement Targets for the four pavement performance measures with Resolution 2023-06.

Pavement Condition

Performance Measure Statewide Baseline Statewide Target
Percent of Interstate Pavement in Good Condition 43.09% 47%
Percent of Interstate Pavement in Poor Condition .51% 3.5
Percent of Non-Interstate Pavement in Good Condition 49.4% 43%
Percent of Non-Interstate Pavement in Poor Condition 12.7% 3.5%

Bridge Condition

Bridge condition is measured using data reported to the National Bridge Inventory (NBI), specifically the ratings for the deck, superstructure, substructure, and culvert conditions. FHWA set thresholds for good, fair, and poor ratings for each of these categories.

Bridge Condition

Performance Measure Statewide Baseline Statewide Target
Percent of NHS Bridges in Good Condition 47.2% 36%
Percent of NHS Bridges in Poor Condition 3.8% 4%
