Last week’s winter storm has created an abundance of potholes along interstates and state routes. The Tennessee Department of Transportation is launching a statewide effort to repair the damaged areas as quickly as possible.
Cold mix asphalt is currently being used for repairs. More permanent repairs will be made in spring and early summer when asphalt plants are producing hot mix.
In some cases, motorists should be prepared for short-term traffic delays during these pothole repair operations.
