New York City Department of Transportation will continue its pothole repair blitz this weekend.
Eighty pothole repair crews will be dispatched along city streets and highways across the five boroughs beginning at 6:00am on Saturday, with additional pothole blitzes to follow in the weeks ahead. Last weekend’s blitz repaired more than 7,200 potholes, roughly a week’s worth, in a single day, officials said.
The effort, announced by Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani and DOT Commissioner Mike Flynn, comes after a winter marked by heavy snowfall and prolonged freezing temperatures that left roadways across the five boroughs in need of urgent repair.
Brooklyn saw one of the highest totals in the city, with 1,686 potholes repaired during the blitz, second only to Queens.
“This weekend, we will be back for more," Flynn said in a statement. "The high-moisture and thawing conditions continue, and that means our work is not done. I applaud all of our NYC DOT crews who will be out once again this weekend making roads safe and passable for New Yorkers.”
