Recent heavy rains and winter weather have created an abundance of potholes along interstates and state routes.
The Tennessee Department of Transportation has already enacted its statewide effort using all available resources, including contractors, to repair the damaged areas as quickly as possible.
TDOT Commissioner Butch Eley said they have proactively planned for pothole repairs, with teams already focused on putting contracts in place ahead of the damage that has occurred.
Commissioner Easley said the approach ensures TDOT can respond quickly and effectively, prioritizing the safety and service of Tennesseans.
Multiple crews will be patching potholes over the coming days and weeks, with cold mix asphalt currently being used for temporary repairs.
Permanent repairs will be made in spring and early Summer, when asphalt plants are producing ample amounts of hot mix.
