Crews doing the road work appreciate your cooperation. During the warm part of the day, the road surface thaws and run-off collects in the cracks in the pavement. When the temperature falls below freezing again, the ground and water re-freezes and naturally expands, which breaks up the pavement. Then traffic pops out these broken sections of pavement, creating potholes. During pothole season, City maintenance crews repair these nuisances daily.
Priority is given to the more heavily traveled roads, but all holes are repaired as detected.
Unfortunately, with the cold patch materials used for repair and with the thawing and re-freezing conditions, a pothole can be repaired one day and need to be repaired again in a day or two.
