PennDOT to repair potholes on dozens of roads in the week ahead | See the list

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The pothole problem persists for many drivers in the Philadelphia area, and PennDOT officials say they're working as quickly as they can, as the weather allows, to make repairs.

On Monday, repair and patching work was underway along I-95 north and south from Race Street to the Bucks County line, eastbound on U.S. 30 between Route 10 and the Exton Bypass in Chester County, and on 322 between Cherry Tree Rd and I-95 in Delaware County.

Crews had also planned to work on Elephant Road in Bedminster, Bucks County on Monday but were unable to due to weather.

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."
