Report a Pothole: Repair Operations Underway

Pothole repair operations are underway throughout the city, prioritizing major arterial streets in Prince Albert as needed. Due to the significant rainfall this summer, these operations have experienced delays, but crews have begun filling potholes as of mid-spring.

Potholes are formed when moisture, such as snowmelt or rain, seeps into cracks in the pavement. When this moisture freezes, it expands, putting pressure on the crack and causing the asphalt to break away. Vehicle traffic can further erode the edges, increasing the size of the pothole.

Streets need to be dry to fill potholes effectively. Potholes will be repaired using the same priority system used for snow removal. Repairs will first focus on high-traffic arterial roadways, school zones and bus routes, the Central Avenue business district, and residential areas.

Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in keeping our streets safe.
