The warm weather has arrived, which means Toronto is conducting this spring’s second pothole repair blitz on Saturday.
Crews who typically handle road maintenance will repair potholes on expressways, major roads and neighbourhood streets citywide from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. The city is warning that drivers and cyclists may face delays around pothole repair areas.
Potholes form when water penetrates asphalt through cracks in the road. In the winter, moisture in the asphalt freezes and expands, forcing sections of the pavement up. The weight of cars eventually breaks the pavement, creating potholes. On April 2, during the first pothole blitz of the season, 6,353 potholes were repaired. The budget for pothole maintenance approved by city council in 2023 was $4.6 million., or by calling 3-1-1.
“Thank you to the crews undertaking this Saturday’s pothole repair blitz now that the warm weather is here. We’re making every effort to ensure that our road network is the best possible condition for drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and transit riders,” Deputy Mayor of Toronto Jennifer McKelvie said in the statement.
“This pothole repair blitz is just one of the ways we’re proactively investing in our infrastructure to increase road safety and keep traffic moving. We encourage everyone to report any potholes they see to 311 so that our crews can repair them as quickly as possible,” McKelvie added.
