Crews in South Bend are patching potholes as the weather permits.

Warming and cooling cycles create the conditions for potholes as water gets into the cracks and freezes.

If you see a pothole in South Bend, you can report it on the City of South Bend’s website, or call 311 during regular business hours from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

During winter months, City crews use temporary material or “cold patch” to fill potholes due to the temperature of the pavement. Once asphalt plants reopen in the spring, crews use a more permanent material or a “hot patch” to fill them.

Certain streets within city limits are state roads, such as State Road 23 and State Road 933. For those, contact INDOT.
