Potholes in March are a rite of passage in Sudbury, mayor says

Sudbury Mayor Brian Bigger says the city is continuously reinforcing the need for quality pothole repairs.

He made the comment in response to mounting complaints about the city's road conditions.

The streets have been breaking up ever since the snow started to melt. Potholes are temporarily being filled with a cold mix until asphalt plants open in May.

This is an issue the city faces every year, he said.

"Anybody in Sudbury knows that we're going to go through a week or a couple weeks of pot holes then we'll get ahead of them again."

Bigger says the city's budget for infrastructure maintenance is about $80 million each year.

People can report potholes to the city by calling 311.
