Potholehunters
Six thousand miles of roads. That's the road network for which our highways teams are responsible in Norfolk. Keeping them in a reasonable state is a time-consuming and costly business, and it never ends.
In March 2014 we spent a day with highways teams in the north and south of the county as they took on the scourge of our roads - potholes. This video is an account of that day.

Honestly, that first one need hot mix, second one needed to be cut square.
In fairness to Norfolk, they are on the ball. When I reported a sinking road surface on a single-track fen road, it was repaired well, and within 36 hours. Thanks guys.
Send some of your teams to Lincolnshire! This place will keep them even busier. Someone photographed one of our potholes with a birthday cake and candles next to it. The hole had been there for years.

The trouble with ‘prioritising’ repairs dependent on the road category means that defects on minor roads are usually ignored, as there are so many needing repair on classified roads. Here on the Somerset Levels a number of small roads are now impassable to normal cars. What to do then ???
Both of them potholes just repaired will be lucky if they last a week what a waste of time and money the first one was cut out then filled with temp rubbish the second. Filled with the proper stuff but didn't cut it to give it a good edge.

+chainsawdom1 i agree with you the first pot hole cut out correctly but they should have used viafix or instarmac p p r wet for a permanent repair . the second hole was a joke
what's the name of that spray they use after its done on the edge? Thanks
What happened to using a tar boiler and sealing the edge with good bitumen iinstead of rattle cans
you should get one of those python 5000 trucks. fill the pothole faster and cheaper
I love how nowadays none of the potholes shown here would even be entertained
Nice job
Sorry you seeal the edges before you put the tar in not spray it on after councill workers at their best haha
The potholes will return, that so-called remedial work will be destroyed by 1)traffic and 2) weather effects. This is buy cheap buy twice in action. Rip the surface up back to the hard-core and 2 feet past distress/ fracture points. Replace and compact hard-core to a high standard, pave and compact base layer to high standard, pour hot bitumen sealant around edges and pave proper top coat, adding granite chips and compact to high standard, leave to cure. Problem solved, yes, more costly initially, but cheaper long term.
COLDTAR BE BACK UP IN 2 WEEKS SHORTCUT AGAIN
