City crews respond as more potholes pop up

Posted

INDIANAPOLIS -- The snow and freezing temperatures are taking a toll on city streets.

Twelve crews from the Department of Public Works were out on Friday filling potholes.

As of Friday afternoon, they had 250 requests to fill potholes with about a three-day turnaround time.

They're using a cold asphalt patch which is a temporary fix designed to repair potholes until warm weather returns and asphalt plants reopen.

In the spring and summer, potholes can be filled with more permanent hot asphalt patch, or the DPW may just decide to resurface certain stretches of road that are pothole-covered.
