NYC Pothole Blitz Kicks Off Tomorrow With Repair Crews In Harlem

NYC Department of Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez will join a DOT Roadways crew as it repairs potholes on a residential street in Harlem, as part of the agency’s second weekend pothole blitz of the spring season.  (DOT’s first pothole blitz on April 9 resulted in over 6,200 pothole repairs.)

Tomorrow, DOT will deploy 75 crews Citywide, filling potholes that were the subject of 311 complaints — as well as others they encounter.

Potholes are more prevalent in spring, as pavement undergoes more frequent

freeze-and-thaw cycles.  To prevent potholes, the Adams Administration has

miles per year in this Ten Year Capital Plan (through FY31).
