Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) crews are working seven days a week to fill potholes across\u00a0the City. With as many as 30 crews out a day when weather permits, CDOT has already repaired more than\u00a0100,000 potholes in 2018.<\/p>\n
Crews are working around the clock, including weekends and overnights to address pothole complaints\u00a0received to the City’s 311.<\/p>\n
The new union contract also provides the City with flexibility this year to assign additional crews as needed.\u00a0Laborers permanently assigned to work on concrete, asphalt, electric, signs, and paint projects can now be\u00a0temporarily transferred to other projects, like pothole repairs, if the need arises.<\/p>\n
Conditions on Chicago streets continue to improve thanks to collaboration between CDOT, the Department of\u00a0Water Management and private utilities, which has worked to repaved more than 1,850 miles of streets and\u00a0alleyways since 2011; more than one third of the City’s streets.<\/p>\n
Chicagoans can track the fight against potholes and see a week’s worth of CDOT’s work on the City’s\u00a0Pothole\u00a0Tracker application<\/a>, which shows not only the calls for service but the number of potholes filled during each\u00a0site visit.<\/p>\n To report potholes in your neighborhood:<\/p>\n\u2022 Call 311,<\/div>\n\u2022 Use the City’s website at\u00a0www.cityofchicago.org\/311<\/a>,<\/div>\n
