About potholes

Why spring is pothole season

Spring is the best time to fix potholes because winter leaves roads in rough shape. Moisture from snow and rain gets into cracks, freezes, and expands, breaking pavement apart. Fixing potholes early helps prevent further damage.

What causes a pothole?

A pothole is a sunken hole that forms when pavement breaks down. Early warning signs include cracks, loose gravel, drainage problems, or past repairs that didn’t hold. Winter conditions like freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and snowplows make potholes more likely. Good construction, timely maintenance, and coordinated utility work all help reduce them.

How potholes are repaired

When crews find a pothole, they clear out debris and moisture, fill the hole with asphalt, and compact it to create a smooth, durable repair. Any leftover material is swept up.

How often streets are checked

City crews inspect every street for potholes twice a year, and reported potholes are addressed as quickly as possible.
