road repairs
Fixing the asphalt
Road repairs are maintenance work done to fix damaged streets, highways, or other paved surfaces.
The phrase typically appears in traffic advisories and on construction signs warning drivers of delays: Road repairs ahead—expect single-lane traffic.
The work includes filling potholes, repaving worn sections, and fixing cracks or drainage problems.
