Reporting Potholes on Long Island

February 14, 2022

Spring temperatures warm the cold pavement, melting and evaporating any ice. This creates air pockets that can eventually cause the pavement to break up. A winter of heavy snow or rain and several freeze-thaw cycles can mean a big pothole season ahead.

Below is a list of resources where you can report potholes on our Long Island roadways:
