Public Works crews have been working on addressing potholes throughout the County. Potholes are a regular feature after winter seasons due to water infiltrating cracks, freezing/thaw cycle, and vehicle traffic. Warm temperatures are required for a permanent hot-mix repair which is occurring now in warmer valley areas. In the mountain areas, temporary cold mix is placed in high-traffic areas to help until the warmer spring months where they can be replaced with permanent patches. Currently around 700 bags of cold mix have been installed in local mountain areas and 30 tons of hot-mix in valley areas in the past few weeks.
