County launches pothole blitz

With the melting and refreezing comes the inevitable potholes.

The Montgomery County Department of Transportation is spending two days attempting to fill as many potholes as possible on its 5,400 lane miles of county-maintained roads. More than 125 employees were out Wednesday and again Thursday to repair roads damaged during the recent storm.

Residents should report potholes on county roads online here or call the county call center 311, or 240-777-0311. Pothole requests after the blitz will be addressed within three business days, weather permitting.

Residents can submit requests for pothole repair on state roads to the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) via the SHA Online Service Request Form or by calling 301-513-7300. State roads are identified by having a road number assigned such as MD 355 or Route 97/Georgia Ave.

Residents living within local municipalities, including the City of Rockville and Gaithersburg, should submit pothole repair requests to their own municipalities.

Since February 2025, MCDOT has filled 2,727 potholes on county roads.
