PennDOT announced Friday maintenance crews will be working to repair deteriorated pavement on state highways next week in Bucks County.
Since January 1, according to PennDOT District 6 it has received nearly 900 customer concerns regarding potholes across the five-county Philadelphia region
The Philadelphia region experiences a high volume of potholes each season due to temperatures fluctuating between freezing and mild, known as a rapid freeze-thaw cycle, officials said. When PennDOT maintenance crews are not providing winter services, they will be focused on patching potholes until all areas are addressed.
PennDOT would like to remind travelers that potholes can be reported to PennDOT’s Customer Care Center by visiting www.customercare.penndot.pa.gov or by calling 1-800-FIX-ROAD.
