What is a pothole?
Spring is the best time to fix potholes because they’re usually at their worst after winter. Repairing them early also helps get roads ready for the upcoming construction season. Even if snowfall is low, spring still brings a lot of moisture, which worsens potholes by making the freeze-thaw cycle more severe. Water gets into small cracks, freezes, and expands, causing the pavement to break apart.
A pothole is a round, sunken hole in the road that forms when the pavement surface breaks down. Before a pothole shows up, you’ll often see cracks, loose gravel, drainage issues, or old repairs that didn’t hold. Winter is especially tough on roads because of extra moisture, freezing and thawing, and snowplows scraping the surface. Using good construction methods, doing maintenance on time, and managing utilities properly can help prevent potholes.
When crews find a pothole, they decide which repair material is best. They start by clearing out debris, water, snow, or ice. Then they fill the hole with asphalt and pack it down. Once the repair is done, they clean up any leftover material so the area is safe for everyone.
Every City street is checked for potholes twice a year, and all pothole reports are addressed as quickly as possible.
