pothole filling

Pavement cavity mending

Pothole filling is the repair of potholes—those bowl-shaped holes that form in road surfaces from water damage and traffic wear.

The term covers both the activity and the material used: The city scheduled pothole filling for next week.

Municipal pothole filling is a perpetual task, with crews patching the same streets year after year.
