With the arrival of spring like weather, the City of Brandon Streets & Roads Section has started the Spring Pothole Patrol program. Crews are patching early-season potholes with a temporary winter asphalt and tar mixture.
Motorists are asked to drive with care and caution around crews as they conduct this work on City streets through the season. Once more consistently warm temperatures arrive, crews can begin using the City of Brandon’s in-house asphalt reclaimer and asphalt pre-mix heater to patch potholes more permanently with hot mix.
Motorists are also encouraged to help crews out where possible and report problem potholes by calling the City of Brandon’s 24-hour Pothole Hotline at 204-729-2200. While the phone line is monitored for issues to be addressed, calls are not returned. Residents can also alert Street & Roads staff to problem potholes by submitting an online report on the City’s website at City of Brandon – Report an Issue.
The City of Brandon reminds its residents that Victoria Avenue west of First Street, Richmond Avenue east of 18th Street, all of First Street (including the bridge), and all of 18th Street (including the bridges), are under the jurisdiction of the Province of Manitoba and, therefore, do not fall within the City of Brandon’s pothole patching program. Residents wishing to report a pothole or unsafe driving condition on a Provincial roadway can call 1-866-MANITOBA (1-866-626-4862).
