PennDOT to Repair Potholes in the Philadelphia Region
PennDOT to Repair Potholes Next Week on More Than 35 State Highways in the Philadelphia Region
Motorists are encouraged to report potholes on www.customercare.penndot.pa.gov or 1-800-FIX-ROAD
King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that PennDOT maintenance crews will be working to repair deteriorated pavement on 39 state highways next week in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties.
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. 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.
Since January 1, PennDOT District 6 has received nearly 900 customer concerns regarding potholes across the five-county Philadelphia region.
