With the help of Google Maps, view the worst paved road in each Wichita City Council district:

Following are the 25 worst paved road segments in Wichita, according to city data. Click the arrows to search the categories to find out, for example, how the road conditions compare or which Wichita City Council districts the roads fall in.

These figures reflect the pavement condition index (PCI), which is created when city of Wichita inspectors survey streets. It takes two to three years to update the PCI citywide, so you may find that a road with a low bad PCI has been fixed or that a road with a high PCI has deteriorated. There are 260 street segments – or about 21 miles – that have a PCI of 100, indicating they were just paved or are in superb condition.
