Scoring of Hayward’s street pavement conditions is up for a fourth consecutive year
The condition of Hayward roads is showing continued improvement following completion of the City’s most recent annual Pavement Improvement Project.
The City’s latest Pavement Condition Index (PCI) has reached a score of 78. The PCI is reported by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and is determined through a standard approach to data collection and analysis used by local governments across the Bay Area. The result is part of an upward trend for Hayward—which had PCI scores of 69 in 2019 to 2021, 71 in 2022, 74 in 2023 and 76 in 2024.
The City’s Fiscal Year 2025 Pavement Improvement Project began on June 23 and delivered more than $12.5 million in street and curb ramp enhancements, including resurfacing and new striping for bike lanes and crosswalks, as well as additional upgrades to more than 41 lane miles of roadway.
The project improved 65 street segments selected based on City evaluation of current pavement conditions, public and City Council input, grouping of streets by neighborhood for cost and schedule efficiency and available funding.
The annual Pavement Improvement Project, which is managed by the Hayward Department of Public Works & Utilities, is funded through a combination of Alameda County Measure BB revenue, the state gas tax, vehicle registration fees, the California Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 and a variety of other sources.
