The City Council for the City of Pell City has approved a new paving project schedule for Fiscal Year 2026, authorizing the use of a $3 million capital improvement allocation to address a list of 47 streets and roads and covering a total of approximately 17.6 miles. The approval came during the council’s September 8, 2025, meeting via Resolution No. 2025-92.
The Pell City Street Department utilized a Pavement Condition Rating (PCR) system to prioritize which roads would be repaired or resurfaced. The system gave the highest priority to roads that showed the most degradation, or the largest drop in their PCR score, between 2021 and 2024.
“A PCR score is a third-party analysis of the roadway condition and points of failure,” City Manager Brian Muenger said.
A lower score indicates more cracking, potholes, and general surface deterioration. By comparing the 2021 score to the 2024 score, the city was able to identify which roads had declined the most and were most in need of immediate attention.
The preliminary road list was reviewed by Street Superintendent Greg Gossett and the paving contractor, Wiregrass Construction Company, Inc. The preliminary cost estimates currently do not include striping and other traffic markings.
Of note, City Manager Muenger indicated that any resurfacing work on Vaughan Road would occur at night, similar to the resurfacing of Industrial Park Drive in 2024.
