A February USA Today report ranks Pennsylvania as having the 11th worst pothole problem in the country and Philadelphia as the 15th worst city.
In response, PennDOT cited the aggressive freeze-thaw cycle we experience and heavy trucks using our major freight corridors.
"It's just something that's a routine part of our maintenance," Briggs said.
Briggs says as temperatures warm up crews will be able to do more permanent repair work and fewer temporary fixes.
PennDOT also continues to encourage the public to report potholes when they see them by calling 1-800-FIX-ROAD or visiting penndot.pa.gov and clicking on "Submit Concern."
