PHILADELPHIA — PennDOT said crews will be working to address potholes in Philadelphia this week as part of a larger effort to fix deteriorated pavement on dozens of highways in Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties.

According to PennDOT, maintenance crews will be working on the following roads:

• I-95.
• U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard).
• Academy Road.
• Allegheny Avenue.
• Aramingo Avenue.
• Betsy Ross Bridge Interchange.
• Borbeck Avenue.

• Harbison Avenue.
• Keystone Street.
• New State Road.
• Princeton Avenue.
• Rhawn Street.
• Robbins Avenue.
• State Road.
• Tacony Street.
• Torresdale Avenue.

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.

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.

PennDOT would like to remind motorists that potholes can be reported to PennDOT’s Customer Care Center online here.

Since Jan. 1, District 6, which covers the Philadelphia region, has received over 3,700 customer concerns regarding potholes.
