Pothole Repairs Scheduled In Upper Dublin Township This Week

UPPER DUBLIN TOWNSHIP, PA —Those pesky potholes are finally going to get filled.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said that maintenance crews will be working on 40 state highways this week to repair deteriorated pavement across the region.

In Upper Dublin Township, potholes are planned to be fixed on Fort Washington Avenue.

PennDOT did not give times or days for when the work would take place during the week.

Crews will restrict travel lanes on these state highways to patch areas of deteriorating pavement.
