Mayor James Mueller joined city crews to patch potholes on Adams Street between Lincoln Way West and California Avenue on Wednesday, March 17.
The City patched more than 53,000 potholes in 2020.
Warming and cooling cycles create the conditions for potholes as water gets into cracks and freezes.
Drivers who see a pothole canreport its location online at southbendin.gov/pothole or call 311.
Below are reminders for the public:
- During the winter months, City crews can only use temporary material or “cold patch” to fill potholes due to the temperature of the pavement. This is what you see on the roads currently. Once asphalt plants reopen in the spring, crews will begin using a more permanent material, or a “hot patch” for potholes.
- Certain streets within city limits are state roads. To report a pothole on State Road 23 (South Bend Avenue, Eddy Street, Sample Street between Eddy and Chapin, Chapin south of Sample, and Prairie Avenue) and State Road 933/US 31 (Lincoln Way East, Main Street), contact INDOT Northwest at 1.855.463.6848.
