According to PennDOT, the Philadelphia region experiences a high volume of potholes each season due to temperatures fluctuating between freezing and mild, known as a rapid freeze-thaw cycle.
Since Jan. 1, PennDOT District 6 has received about 900 customer concerns regarding potholes across the five-county region.
Potholes can be reported to PennDOT’s Customer Care Center online here or by calling 1-800-FIX-ROAD.
