For RCOC, springtime means patching potholes
    For RCOC, springtime means patching poles.

   As the ground thaws after winter, the soil under the roads becomes less stable, creating an ideal situation for potholes. This situation has been particularly bad in recent years because many RCOC roads are in poor condition due to decades of inadequate road funding.

    When patching potholes, the Road Commission works on a priority system similar to the way it plows roads in the winter: Safety dictates that the roads with the most traffic moving at the highest speeds must be the first priority.

    Once the busier roads have been patched, RCOC crews move to less traveled roads. Subdivision roads carry the least amount of traffic moving at the slowest speeds, so these are typically patched only after the busier streets have been completed.

   To report a pothole to the Road Commission, call 877-858-4804 or, for non-emergency situations, fill out our online form: Contact Us.
