Goodbye potholes?

In local news, drivers may find themselves dodging fewer potholes by the end of the week. 

According to a city spokesperson, 75 per cent of Montreal’s potholes had already been filled as of Wednesday.

While work on major roads is nearly complete, smaller side streets are expected to be finished in the coming days. 

The city’s attempt to plug-up potholes started last Monday, after a winter season particularly tough on the roads. 

The wide fluctuations in temperature this year can be blamed for the 154 damage claims motorists have filed with the city. That amount is double what was recorded for last year’s pothole season.
