TDOT launches plan for pothole repair

January’s back-to-back winter storms have helped create an abundance of potholes along Tennessee interstates and state highways.
The Tennessee Department of Transportation says it’s working to repair the damaged areas as soon as possible and is asking the public to help find trouble spots such as potholes.
TDOT said multiple crews will be patching potholes over the coming days and weeks. Cold mix asphalt is currently being used for repairs. Asphalt plants may open during the day and allow crews to use hot mix for more permanent repairs in some areas.
However, it may be spring or early summer before more permanent repairs are made throughout the state. Full-scale paving may be necessary to repair more severe locations fully.
