Potholes are created when moisture seeps into the pavement, freezes, expands and then thaws. This weakens the pavement; traffic loosens it even more, and it eventually crumbles and pops out.
State Rep. Tim Briggs also provides a pothole reporting form for citizens to report potholes on State roads, such as Route 23 (Conshohocken State Road) and E. Wynnewood Road.
You can report them on Briggs' website here.
