PennDOT to Fix Potholes Along More Than 60 Philadelphia-Area Roads

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is set to fix one of the most annoying and potentially costly parts of people's commutes: potholes.

The repair project will see crews patch potholes along more than 60 roads in the Philadelphia region starting Thursday, PennDOT announced. Repairs will continue through the spring, weather permitting.

Drivers are advised that some slow-downs and lane closures will occur during the repair period. They're also asked to watch for workers on the road.

Pennsylvania allows drivers to file claims against the state when their vehicles are damaged by potholes. Unfortunately for those motorists, the state is also required by law to deny those claims.

In lieu of damage payments, people can report potholes to PennDOT by calling 1-800-FIX-ROAD or going on the PennDOT website.
