The City of Augustus fills approximately 1,400 potholes every year. The heaviest pothole seasons are winter and spring.

 

 

 

 The city's crack seal program is the largest preventative measure for potholes; this process closes up the cracks. We also overlay and repave streets every year. 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Potholes are formed by water, freezing and freeze-thaw cycles, excessive heat, wear and tear - and time.
  • The areas most prone to pothole development are where drainage is poor (particularly where roads dip, such as the trough under viaducts), where vehicular traffic is greatest - especially heavy vehicle traffic - and where poor maintenance allows small fissures to deteriorate.
  • The vast majority of America's highways were built in the 1950s through the 1970s. Most were built to last 50 years. With time, all the factors that compromise pavement add up. By the same token, some roads have lasted much longer than planned in part due to good maintenance.
