2026 Paving Plan

Current activities:

(July 17) Crews will begin paving on areas of Roberts Drive and Chamblee Dunwoody Drive. Weather permitting, paving will continue through the middle of next week as Phase I of DeKalb County’s Dunwoody Knoll Water Main Project nears completion. The goal is to finish the work before school starts. This paving work is being managed by DeKalb Co. It is not part of Dunwoody's paving plan.

(July 2) Work on the 2026 Street Paving project will resume in late July.  When the contractor returns, crews will begin on Mt. Vernon Rd. with patching the northbound lanes between Ashford Dunwoody Rd. and the two-lane section just west of Wickford Way.  Crews will then move to the Dunwoody Station subdivision to begin the balance of the planned paving on streets off of Mt Vernon Rd.

Overview:

Dunwoody is planning 13.8 lane miles of street resurfacing on 32 streets in 2026.

Paving Plan Map for 2024-2028

The completion of a citywide paving assessment in 2023 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 to achieve a 20-year paving cycle. To date, 271 lane miles have been paved, which equals 89 percent of the 20-year goal. 

WATCH - The Scan Van: Assessing Dunwoody Roads

The 2023 citywide pavement assessment 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.
