City to Conduct Street Pavement Assessments Across Longmont in August

Survey work will help guide future street maintenance and improvement projects

August 5, 2026 – This August, the City of Longmont will initiate a survey of the pavement condition of the 350 miles of asphalt and concrete streets in the City. Typically, the City collects this data every four to five years. The information collected over the two-week 2026 survey will continue the City’s efforts to maintain safe and reliable streets for the community. As part of this work, the City has partnered with IMS Infrastructure Management Services (IMS) to conduct pavement assessments using the IrisPRO Pave system.

The IrisPRO Pave system uses specialized technology to collect information about the condition of streets throughout Longmont. The system identifies pavement concerns including cracks, potholes and other surface issues that may need attention.

Information collected will help City staff better understand the overall condition of Longmont’s roadways and support planning for Longmont’s Pavement Management Program. Current pavement data ensures the City prioritizes projects, makes informed decisions and uses public funds responsibly.

A white van equipped with cameras, sensors and other pavement assessment equipment is parked on a residential street lined with trees and homes. The specialized vehicle is used to scan and collect data about road conditions to help the City of Longmont evaluate pavement and plan future street maintenance.

Residents may see IMS vehicles traveling on streets throughout the city during the approximately two-week assessment process. The vehicles are collecting pavement information and do not require any action from residents.

The City appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation as this work takes place. The data collected will help support long-term street maintenance efforts and improve the safety and reliability of Longmont’s roadways.
