PennDOT crews rode down I-76 westbound Tuesday, filling highway cavities with a spray patching truck.
"It addresses potholes that are not as deep," explained Robyn Briggs, the community relations coordinator for PennDOT.PennDOT stated it had over 4,000 potholes reported in 2022, and it expects a similar number this year.
"It doesn't matter if the snows on the ground, even if it rains, we have that water seeping through any little crack in the pavement which then sits there, it can freeze, it then thaws," said Briggs. As crews work to patch them up, PennDOT recommends that drivers take it slow when they see a hole in the road and leave plenty of space for repair trucks.
"I see them out there, but I think maybe they need to hire more people, maybe get more people out there so they can get it done a little quicker," said Shoun Randolph from North Philadelphia.
