Where are Potholes a Problem in Lindenhurst?
Pothole season is starting early this year.

The recent wet weather combined with large temperature fluctuations means one thing on the roadways: potholes.
Pothole season could be worse than ever this year, which means a big dent in your wallet if your car lands in one.
With that in mind, Patch is asking for your help to identify potholes around town. Once we have collected the locations, we will pass them onto the Village of Lindenhurst and the Town of Babylon.
"The Town of Babylon is working around the clock to repair the surge of potholes caused by the recent blizzard and freezing weather," a town spokesman said. "All potholes should be reported to the Town at 311 and will be repaired within a few days time."
If it's a village road, residents can report potholes by calling the Village's Department of Public Works at 631-957-7520.
Here are a few trouble spots around town, according to readers on our Facebook page:
- There's a nice one at the entrance going into LA Fitness on Montauk Highway (455 Park Avenue)
- So many have popped up on West Gates Ave from Wellwood to 3rd St.
- South 3rd and Montauk are getting worse by the minute
- North Queens Avenue
- Over by Riviera Pkwy and Montauk
