As temperatures fluctuate, snow melts and gets into cracks in the pavement. When the temperature drops, the water freezes and expands, popping out asphalt and creating potholes. Potholes also form when traffic pressures create weak spots in the pavement and the pavement fails.

Roseville Street crews repair potholes and other roadway cracks and problems in order of priority. They install a temporary patch and then prioritize the problems by size, number and traffic volume to see if more extensive repairs are needed. Crews repair potholes as soon as possible after being notified of a problem. Please let us know about any potholes on city streets. Complete the Fix It Form at www.cityofroseville.com/fixitform or call 651-792-7004 to report a problem. To report a pothole on a county street, call 651-266-7100.
