Crews working to fill a pothole.

Unfortunately potholes are common to Strathcona County due to the freeze and thaw weather patterns experienced in the winter.

Potholes are fixed in a priority order where roads with higher speed limits and traffic volume are repaired first, then collector and residential streets.
