: Gujarat state has 19761 km length of state highway which is 35% of total length of roads in Gujarat. The state highway are primary routes of a state that provides access to district headquarters, important towns within state and connecting them to national highways or state highways of neighbor states. Managing to this road network is also challenging because of lack of systematic approach for maintenance of roads. Pavement deterioration rate has been increased due to lack of proper maintenance approach and increase in number of vehicles as well as axle loads. There is a need of developing scientific and systematic approach towards developing the maintenance and rehabilitation requirements of road. To justify Pavement Maintenance Management System (PMMS), A 10 kilometer stretch of State Highway-151 (Dakor – Kapadvanj Road) has been selected and divided into 10 sections. Road inventory, Classified Volume Count Survey and pavement condition survey has been performed on the same stretch. Structural evaluation of pavement has been carried out by Benkelman Beam Deflection survey and other necessary data are collected from R & B Department, Government of Gujarat. These data have been incorporated into HDM-4 system. Various maintenance and rehabilitation alternatives have been assigned to these road sections and one having highest NPV/CAP ratio has been selected as optimum maintenance alternative. Life cycle cost analysis has been performed under all alternatives and economic analysis has been carried out for optimum maintenance alternative to check economic viability. This study concluded that proper maintenance technique helps to achieve service life of pavement and restricts pavement to fail before its service life.
