The City of Dunwoody’s 2024 Street Paving Plan begins in May for 21 streets that cover 11.4 lane miles. The city has budgeted $2.15 million of Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) funds for the work. The Georgia Department of Transportation will also provide $1.08 million through the Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant (LMIG). 

Dunwoody streets scheduled for resurfacing in 2024 include the following: Adams Road, Adams Walk, Ashford Dunwoody Road (South end), Ashwood Parkway, Bridle Path, Buckline Circle, Buckline Court, Buckline Way, Buckline Crossing, Cambridge Trace, Chamblee Dunwoody Road (Georgetown), Chestnut Ridge Drive, Equestrian Court, Equestrian Way, Joberry Court, Northbrooke Circle, Northbrooke Lane, Perimeter Center West, Ridgeview Road, Village North Court, and Village North Road. The plan also includes the repaving of the parking lot at the Dunwoody Cultural Arts Center and Library.

The completion of a citywide paving assessment last year prioritized the city’s paving needs and set plans through 2028 (view map). By the end of 2029, Dunwoody plans to complete resurfacing all City streets, fulfilling a commitment made by city founders in 2008 to achieve a 20-year paving cycle. To date, 246 lane miles have been paved, which equals 81 percent of the 20-year goal.

“We used a special vehicle known as the ‘Scan Van’ to develop our citywide assessment,” said Dunwoody Public Works Director Michael Smith. “The vehicle traveled along every city-maintained street last Spring using cameras, lasers, and other sensors to evaluate surfaces. Scan results were used to produce a pavement condition index (PCI) ranging from 0 to 100 for each roadway segment.”

The report found an overall PCI rating of 75 for Dunwoody streets. This is an improvement from 2009, 2013, and 2018, when the ratings were 69, 64, and 69, respectively. Plus, the city’s paving backlog, which is the percentage of pavement in poor or worse condition, has decreased from a high of 36 percent in 2013 to a low of just under 15 percent in 2023. More than 65 percent of the city’s roads are in satisfactory or good condition, with another 20 percent in fair condition.

Not a pothole: Dunwoody Public Works often hears from residents concerned about potholes on their freshly- paved streets. In most cases, the pothole is made intentionally. Underneath is a utility manhole that will be adjusted to grade after the asphalt work on the road has been completed. The contractor intentionally creates what looks like a pothole so the crews who adjust the manholes can quickly identify them. These photos show what’s typically left by the contractor - and the manhole after adjustment.
