Pothole Patrol For Danvers Department Of Public Works

DANVERS, MA — The Danvers Department of Public Works is on the prowl for potholes.

The DPW said crews are out "actively filling potholes throughout the town" from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day this week.

"With the low temperatures and freezing groundwater expanding, we are starting to see an increase in potholes on the roads," Danvers DPW said.

Residents who see potholes are encouraged to report them before they get bigger and cause damage to vehicles.

Residents can report potholes here or by calling the DPW at 978-762-0231.

If you see a pothole, please let the DPW know so we can prevent it from getting bigger and causing damage.
