City Urges El Paso Residents to Report Potholes After Storms
The recent rainfall in El Paso has brought a familiar problem to city streets: potholes.
When rain infiltrates the cracks in asphalt, it seeps down into the base layer. That moisture weakens the road. Add vehicle traffic on top of it, and eventually the asphalt gives out. That’s when a pothole forms.
Randy Garcia, director of the City of El Paso’s Streets and Maintenance Department, explained that potholes usually appear after the rain stops rather than while it’s still falling.
Garcia added,
The subgrade below the asphalt stays wet even after the rain is gone.
Residents are urged to report potholes to help the city address the issue.
