After weeks of plowing and salting county roads, Monmouth County Public Works and Engineering Department crews have transitioned over to the next phase of operation: pothole repair on county roads, according to a press release.
“There are nine Highway Division crews going out on county roads every day to look for and repair potholes,” Freeholder Thomas A. Arnone said. “The highway crews are also responding to reports of potholes from police departments and residents that come in all hours of the day and night.”
Monmouth County primarily uses permanent measures to repair most of the potholes on its more than 1,000 lane miles of road, according to the press release.
Individuals may report a pothole on a county road by calling the Monmouth County Highway Division of the Public Works and Engineering Department at 732- 431-6550.
Individuals who come across a pothole on a state highway may report it to the New Jersey Department of Transportation at www.state. nj. us/ transportation/ commuter/ potholeform.shtm. Potholes on local roads should be reported to the appropriate local municipality. Residents should not call 911 to report pothole problems.
