PG County Has 'Pothole Blitz' To Fix Roads

The aim was to repair damage caused during the winter months.

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD -- With the winter behind them, or so they thought, Prince George's County went on a "pothole blitz" on Wednesday to fix potholes throughout the county.

Another snowstorm may be brewing this weekend, but the Prince George's County Department of Public Works and Transportation hopefully will get enough done to make for a relatively hassle-free spring and summer for local drivers.

“Through this concentrated effort, Prince George’s County roadways will be safer, more accessible and easier to travel,” said DPW&T Director Darrell B. Mobley in a statement. “DPW&T will dedicate all of its maintenance personnel and resources for this sustained effort to repair the potholes on County roadways.”
