You might be hitting fewer potholes on Pa. roads thanks to the mild winter. ABaskerville10 finds out why from PennDOT.
According to PennDOT, it budgeted $26 million for the winter season. It’s been milder with less snow and ice than normal. So far, PennDOT has only spent a little more than $9 million.
Since the first of the year, PennDOT has used more than 1,000 tons of asphalt to fix those rim busters on Commonwealth roads. The agency said any remaining money will add to the budget for road maintenance, like shoulder work, crack sealing and fixing potholes. “What’s good for us and for everyone is that they are able to use the more permanent material, so they don’t have to go back as often, and they are able to hit more areas," Briggs said.“Much, much happier, keep me going to work," said one driver.
