PennDOT To Repair Potholes On 10 Highways In Montgomery County

Pothole repair is underway on these roads in Montgomery County.

Pothole repair is underway on nearly a dozen state highways across Montgomery County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced.

Potholes, a bane of winter drivers, proliferate during freezing weather. Earlier in the winter, several area residents described potholes "big enough to swim in," and it only takes a small pothole to damage your vehicle.

The repairs, which began Monday, extended to more than 60 roads across the region.
