New York State Announced MAJOR Pothole Filling Project

This is the summer of smoother roads in New York State. Earlier this year, New York State Governor Kathy Hochul announced a multimillion-dollar project to fix potholes across New York State.

215 different crews from the State DOT will spend the month of April placing more than 8,000 tons of asphalt to fill an anticipated 175,000 potholes statewide. Plans are also in place from the State to use the State DOT to fill hundreds of thousands more as the weather permits over the next several months as well.
