As the month of March rolls out, Gov. Bob McDonnell has decided to extend his pothole blitz until April 15.
McDonnell announced that the Virginia Department of Transportation has patched, repaired or filled more than 120,000 potholes throughout the state since it kicked off the agency’s pothole blitz March 1.
A month ago, Governor Bob McDonnell directed VDOT to launch its pothole blitz and focus efforts on patching the thousands of potholes resulting from this winter’s harsh weather. Continued wet conditions in March have resulted in even more pavement failures needing attention. As potholes are reported by VDOT crews, contractors and citizens, VDOT has worked day and night to address the pavement hazards.
“This has been a team effort starting with Virginia’s citizens who have helped identify and report potholes along their travels to VDOT’s Web site and call-in line,” McDonnell said.
As citizens contact VDOT and report each new pothole, crews are dispatched to work through assigned corridors and repairs are prioritized based on severity and location.
