Pavement Management Plan

The City of Cañon City maintains an extensive road network consisting of approximately 104.9 centerline miles of paved roads. Approximately 100.6 miles have an asphalt surface and 4.3 centerline miles have a concrete surface. This road network is a major City asset that requires ongoing maintenance and rehabilitation to provide a desirable level of service to the traveling public. 

In April 2025, the City commissioned MDS Technologies, Inc. (MDST) to evaluate the condition of the City’s road network and estimate the effect that various pavement rehabilitation budgets would have on the long-term condition of the road network. The project also included creation of a 12-year pavement rehabilitation plan. 

The processes used to perform this analysis are described in the 2025 Pavement Management Report. Key findings of the study are also provided and discussed in this report.
