This week’s Q&A: How do you manage and prevent potholes?
👷‍♀️ Council has short, medium, and long-term strategies to manage and prevent potholes.
👷‍♂️ Pothole patching is a temporary solution to reduce safety hazards, and used to repair isolated defects in the road network. These types of repairs are designed to ensure it is kept safe for traffic until such time as a more permanent restoration or resurfacing can occur.
👷‍♂️ More permanent pothole repairs and other solutions can be applied based on risk and a priority basis. Heavy patch repairs provide a medium-term solution where a section of the road is treated.
👷‍♂️ For the longer term, renewal works are undertaken which include rehabilitation and resurfacing of the pavement, (as shown in photo).
👷‍♀️ Road repairs are prioritised by level of risk and traffic volumes, with higher traffic roads generally requiring attention first. For workflow and cost efficiencies, repair work may be undertaken on several roads in the same suburb around a priority site.
