PHILADELPHIA – PennDOT announced plans to dispatch maintenance crews next week to repair potholes and deteriorated pavement on dozens of highways across the Philadelphia region.
What we know:
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation says crews will focus on repairing deteriorated pavement and potholes on 35 state highways across the Philadelphia region next week.
The work will take place throughout Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties as part of ongoing efforts to address winter-related pavement damage.
Why you should care:
Pothole season in Pennsylvania typically accelerates during freeze-thaw cycles in winter and early spring, when fluctuating temperatures cause pavement to crack and break apart more readily.
If left unrepaired, potholes can damage vehicles and pose safety risks for drivers, particularly on major routes that carry heavy traffic.
