Virginia’s Department of Transportation has repaired more than 108,000 potholes throughout the state since Gov. Bob McDonnell launched the 2011 “pothole blitz” on March 8.

“Although the milder winter we experienced this year has led to fewer potholes to repair than the [161,000] filled during our 2010 pothole blitz, VDOT and its contractors promptly responded when Virginia citizens reported potholes to VDOT’s website or called their customer service center,” said McDonnell. “The pothole blitz has helped to make travel safer and easier for all Virginia motorists.”
