The Indianapolis Department of Public Works (Indy DPW) wants to hear from Indy's residents about the potholes they see on their commutes. Particularly as temperatures oscillate above and below 32 degrees Fahrenheit spurring the seasonal freeze-thaw cycle, Indy DPW needs location information from residents regarding where street deterioration may be accelerating.

Residents are encouraged to report potholes via the Request Indy website, the RequestIndy mobile app on iPhone or Android, or by calling the Mayor's Action Center at 317-327-4622.

Indy DPW crews have been out in full force this week continuing their street maintenance operations, patching reported potholes with cold-mix asphalt. While seen as a temporary measure, cold-mix asphalt allows crews to quickly address one-off pothole issues that have been reported until hot-mix asphalt becomes available later in the season for a more substantive maintenance operation.

Below is a list of locations where Indy DPW crews have been this week.

Indy DPW crews have filled 20,963 potholes (resolving 1,294 service requests) since January 1, 2022, using 487 tons of cold-mix asphalt. Potholes are filled as requests are reported, with the first priority being those located on main thoroughfares which handle more traffic.

Indy DPW reminds motorists to drive with caution and give crews the space they need to safely work. Drivers should watch for orange barrels and cones, slowing down through construction zones.

Crews have also been engaged on other activities this week, including cleaning up sites of illegal dumping by Indy residents; training on milling equipment for future street maintenance operations; accepting salt deliveries for Indy Snow Force salt barns; and preparing for heavy rain operations due to forecasted storms in the latter half of the week.
