When state highway crews are not clearing roads of snow or ice this time of year, they can often be found repairing potholes. Such work has been done this week along Lexington’s New Circle Road. Natasha Lacy is public information officer for the district seven Kentucky Transportation Office. Lacy said it’s not just the cold to warm temperature swings that can lead to potholes.
“Freezing and thawing, but also as we move into spring, we usually have heavy rainfall. And heavy rainfall also contributes to the formation of potholes too as well,” said Lacy.
