See A Pothole In Shoreline? Here's How To Get It Fixed

SHORELINE, WA - Potholes can occur year-round, but the nasty roadway pits are more common during winter freeze-thaw cycles.

During winter, road crews will generally use "cold patch" to fill-in potholes and prevent them from getting worse. This is a temporary fix until warmer weather, when crews can apply hot-mix asphalt.

"Repairing pavement de-laminations and potholes is important because they not only can lead to more expensive road repairs but can cause wear and tear on your vehicle, make for bumpy rides and potentially pose safety risks. There are two primary types of asphalt repairs that the City uses—cold patch asphalt repair and hot mix asphalt repair—and each has its own benefits," the city wrote in a press release Thursday.
