Kansas City's Public Works Department is continuing its battle against potholes.

The winter and spring have been among the busiest ever for the crews responsible for fixing the potholes that are responsible for damage to vehicles all over the city.

"Since December we've patched 64,000 potholes, and that's using over 2,000 tons of asphalt," said Maggie Green, spokeswoman for the Public Works Department.

"We expect that no new potholes will form, and so that will allow us to wrap up the existing list that we're working off of right now," Green said. "We're hoping as soon as this rainy season's over we'll be able to catch up on the list."
