Winter weather has done its usual damage to city streets, with freezing and thawing cycles leading to an increase in cracks and potholes in the pavement. The Owensboro Street Department has declared their annual spring “War on Potholes,” and from April 7-11 the public is asked to report the location of potholes across the city.

Citizens can contact City Action at 270-687-4444 or [email protected] to report the location of all potholes. Be as specific as possible on locations, referencing a street address or intersection.

City crews will repair potholes from April 14-25. The City will pass the location of potholes on state or county streets to the proper officials.

“Our goal is to have every pothole in the City identified and patched as quickly as possible,” City officials said in a release. “Please help us to maintain our quality road system by reporting potholes.”
