​(January 15, 2014) – Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) crews are patrolling State roads and repairing potholes weekdays during non-peak travel times between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Recent rain and snow storms, as well as extreme fluctuations in temperature, have caused potholes to form on highways across Maryland. In order to safely repair pavements, crews need to briefly close travel lanes.  Motorists should slow down and be extremely cautious near mobile work zones for their safety and that of road crews.

 
“Potholes are a normal result of the freeze and thaw cycle, so we are seeing more thanks to the numerous storms this year,” said SHA Administrator Melinda B. Peters. “Once potholes are reported, crews will respond within one business day to repair the pavement.  Drivers can help us locate potholes by reporting them through our on-line system.”
 
Citizens who encounter potholes are encouraged to report the location through SHA’s Customer Care Management System at http://tinyurl.com/yhhf43s.
