Welcome to the Start of Pothole Season 2015

Another sure sign of spring, the potholes are starting to show up. I noticed a HUGE one in my neighborhood this week. I am not alone. March is typically the start of the pothole season, and road crews for the state and municipalities have begun temporarily patching holes when they can and posting weight limits on rural roads to prevent further damage. According to the KJ, any permanent fixes have to wait until the temperatures warm up more and crews can begin actual road reconstruction. The ground still hasn’t thawed, so the region hasn’t reached the peak time of roads breaking up from warmer temperatures. (centralmaine.com)
