John Lawlor, the city’s director of public works and engineering, told city councilors this week that the city would need to invest around $5.5 million into road improvements annually in order to improve the overall conditions of roads it owns and maintains. Lawlor was joined by Anthony Garro, a senior vice president of the engineering firm BETA group, Inc., in discussing the city’s road improvement program. BETA was the firm retained by the city in 2022 to inspect the condition of approximately 193 miles of roadway in Meriden. The inspection rated the city’s overall network of roads at 73.54, and categorized groups of roadways based on the level of repairs inspectors determined those roads needed. The overall cost to complete all the recommended levels of repair would be just over $53 million.
