How To Report Potholes In Union County

UNION COUNTY, NJ — With all of the snow, ice, and salt that piles onto the roadways, potholes are bound to crop up. Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders are offering resources on how to report the potholes to the proper agency.

"We encourage drivers and pedestrians alike to report any pothole they come across, so repair crews can act as quickly as possible," said Freeholder Chair Bette Jane Kowalski. "Even if you think someone else already reported it, please take a few minutes to fill out the online form or call our hotline number."

There are a number of ways to report a pothole depending on what roadway it is located on.

County Roadways: Use an online form available through the Union County Department of Public Works and Facilities Management at ucnj.org/pot-hole or by calling 908-789-3660. County roads are identified by their blue route signs, which include the letters “CR” followed by a three-digit number.

State Highways: Call the New Jersey Department of Transportation at 1-800-POTHOLE or use the online form at state.nj.us/transportation.

Local Roads: Contact the municipality in which the road is located. Links for all 21 Union County municipalities are available through the County website, ucnj.org/municipalities.
