Pothole Repairs Planned In Bensalem

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA — PennDOT is planning pothole repairs this week throughout the Philadelphia region, including one road in the township.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said that PennDOT maintenance crews will be working on 30 state highways this week to repair deteriorated pavement in Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties.

The Philadelphia region experiences a high volume of potholes each season due to temperatures fluctuating between freezing and mild, known as a rapid freeze-thaw cycle.

PennDOT would like to remind motorists that potholes can be reported to PennDOT’s Customer Care Center by visiting www.customercare.penndot.pa.gov.

To date, since Jan. 1, District 6 has received over 3,900 customer concerns regarding potholes.

Drivers are advised of travel restrictions and possible slowdowns next week when driving near work crews patching potholes on Haunted Lane in Bensalem Township.

Drivers are reminded to slow down in the work zone and refrain from distracted driving to keep themselves and our workers safe.

Crews will be patching potholes until all areas are addressed.

All activities are weather-dependent.

To learn more about patching methods and other maintenance procedures, please see the PennDOT Maintenance Activities webpage.
