INDIANAPOLIS — As central Indiana goes through the seasonal freeze-thaw cycle, conditions are prime for potholes to pop up around the streets of Indianapolis.
The Indianapolis Department of Public Works is asking residents to report those potholes whenever they see them on their commutes. To do that, go to the Request Indy website. Click the option that says "Create New Request," then select "Most Common," and finally "Potholes." Users can then either select a location on a map or type in an address.
Residents can also report potholes on the RequestIndy mobile app, available on Apple and Android devices, or by calling the Mayor's Action Center at 317-327-4622.
Since Jan. 1, DPW crews have filled 20,963 potholes using 487 tons of cold-mix asphalt. While cold-mix asphalt is only a temporary measure, it allows the city to address reported issues until hot-mix asphalt is available later in the season.
As of the week of Feb. 14, these are the areas DPW is targeting to repair issues:
- Michigan Road (6200 - 6300 block; 8500 - 9400 block)
