Description
All 4 lanes of traffic thru this entire stretch have large potholes encompassing, at times, the entire width of a lane. Traffic is forced to swerve into opposing traffic to avoid damaging tires. Has been this way for weeks & no attempts with cold patches have been made. Pls repair ASAP before an accident happens as this road sees heavy volumes of traffic. Thank you

A pothole is a type of failure in an asphalt pavement,[1] caused by the presence of water in the underlying soil structure and the presence of traffic passing over the affected area. Introduction of water to the underlying soil structure first weakens the supporting soil. Traffic then fatigues and breaks the poorly supported asphalt surface in the affected area. Continued traffic action ejects both asphalt and the underlying soil material to create a hole in the pavement.
Please note that the Town of Penfield has placed repair orders with the State DOT for this issue. The state did complete temporary repairs. We encourage individuals to submit locations of potholes to the NY State DOT at 585-586-4514.
