The City of Clinton is moving forward with Phase 2 of its Roadway Analysis Project, beginning Saturday, November 8, and continuing through Friday, November 14.
During this period, IMS, a contractor for the City, will be driving all public streets during nighttime hours to perform structural testing and data collection as part of Clinton’s ongoing effort to assess the health of local streets and plan future improvements.
The study utilizes a specialized tool known as the Fast Falling Weight Deflectometer (FAST FWD) — an advanced, non-invasive pavement evaluation system. The FAST FWD measures pavement strength and integrity without causing damage or disruption to traffic. By using precise diagnostics, the technology identifies maintenance needs and helps forecast the life cycle of road surfaces, allowing the City to make proactive, cost-effective repair decisions.
Residents may notice IMS vehicles equipped with this technology traveling local streets at night. City officials assure the public that this testing is safe, causes no roadway damage, and does not require any road closures.
The data collected during Phase 2 will provide city engineers with detailed information to help prioritize street repairs, resurfacing, and long-term maintenance planning — all part of the City’s commitment to improving infrastructure and roadway safety for the Clinton community.
