pothole repair
Fixing street cavities
Pothole repair is the process of fixing holes that form in road surfaces from water damage, traffic wear, and freeze-thaw cycles.
Methods range from temporary patches—filling the hole with asphalt—to more permanent solutions that cut out damaged pavement and replace it.
The city's pothole repair crews work overtime after harsh winters.
