With the recent ice and heavy rains across the state, officials say its likely more potholes will soon be opening up.
They say you should be especially cautious when driving to try not to hit the holes.
If it’s unavoidable, you can check for damage that could include a bulge on a tire’s sidewall, feeling your car pulling to one side or the other, or feeling unusual vibrations in the steering, seat or floor.
According to PennDOT, a pothole can develop when water fills below the road through small cracks in the pavement. A cavity then forms when the water freezes, causing it to crack above and destroy the pavement.
PennDOT is asking you to report road and pothole issues in your area by calling 1-800-FIX-ROAD or by heading to PennDOT.gov.
