The Ministry of Public Housing, Spatial Planning, Environment and Infrastructure (VROMI) hereby informs the public that a comprehensive round of pothole repairs is currently underway across the main road network. This maintenance effort started last evening, December 8th and will continue through to December 11th, during the evening work hours of 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
In preparation for this week’s work, potholes around all main roads have already been identified and clearly marked, allowing repair teams to move efficiently and systematically from one location to the next. To ensure durable and timely repairs, the Ministry is utilizing hot asphalt, a method known for its fast-setting properties and ability to address potholes effectively with minimal traffic disruption.
These evening repairs are scheduled specifically to reduce inconvenience to road users, limit daytime congestion, and maximize safety for both workers and motorists.
