PennDOT is encouraging motorists to report potholes and roadway concerns to road workers.
It's freeze-thaw season, which means it's pothole time. PennDOT officials are encouraging motorists to report potholes or other road problems on state-owned roads. “We want our roadway system to be the best it can be, but with a network of 2,568 miles, we can’t be everywhere at once when sudden problems arise,” District 11 Executive Dan Cessna said. “Motorists can help us keep state roads in good shape by reporting any problems they encounter, especially if it involves a safety concern.” With the frigid temperatures and consistent precipitation that has occurred throughout the region in recent weeks, potholes, cracking and other roadway deficiencies can occur more rapidly than usual on many area roadways.

A new plow will help clear interstates and expressways in Allegheny County.
As winter approaches, PennDOT crews are gearing up for road maintenance, and in Allegheny County, they have a new three-lane plow to help with the job. On Monday, Angelo Pampena, senior highway maintenance manager for PennDOT, gave members of the media an overview of the Tow Plow, which he said will help clear roads more efficiently and could potentially cut costs. “For bigger arteries with a larger snowfall, that Tow Plow is much more efficient,” Pampena said. It acts much like a wing plow, swiveling out to the right of a standard plow truck to cover as many as three lanes. It is equipped with air brakes and two 1,000-gallon tanks for salt brine and can maneuver through traffic going as fast as 60 miles per hour. Pampena said the plow, …
