Columbus Intensified Pothole Repair Update-April 11

Through the first four weeks of the City of Columbus' intensified pothole repair effort, pothole repair crews have fixed 38,541 potholes from Monday, March 17, through today.

  • March 17-31, street maintenance crews worked to fill potholes 24 hours a day, seven days a week, when weather permitted.  From April 1-14, crews will work from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., seven days a week, with an additional overnight shift Sundays through Wednesdays, weather permitting.
  • During this period, the city's goal will be to patch every reported pothole within three dry-weather days.
  • During the one month intensified pothole repair effort, residents may report potholes through Facebook at Columbus Public Service  or Twitter @ColumbusDPS , in addition to the customary 311 Customer Service Center. Residents are asked to include the location of the pothole by referencing:

  • The address of a home or business closest to the pothole;
  • The direction of travel (northbound, southbound, eastbound, westbound) where the pothole is located;
