Road departments seek help finding potholes

ASHLAND, Ky. (AP) — Motorists in Kentucky are being asked to help find potholes that need patching.

The Independent in Ashland reports the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, the Ashland Street Department and the Boyd County Road Department want to hear where the potholes are located.

Ashland City Manager Steve Corbitt says the city sends crews out to patch potholes, but the best way to find them is for residents to report them.

Officials say a temporary patch will be put on the worst ones, but a permanent fix won’t be available until the asphalt plants open next month.

Ashland’s Director of Public Works Marion Russell says there’s been a proliferation of potholes because of the winter weather.

Potholes on state roads and highways can be reported by call (800) PATCH-IT or online at http://511.ky.gov/ReportaPothole.html
