PennDOT will work to repair potholes in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties next week. Above, a truck passes by a pothole at 16th Street and Ridge Avenue in Philadelphia on Friday morning.
Drivers should expect traffic jams next week as PennDOT maintenance crews repair potholes throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania.
PennDOT plans to fix cracked or otherwise deteriorated pavement on 33 state highways. The work will lead to "periodic" lane closures during the day, transportation officials said, and potentially slow traffic.
Here's where the crews will be working, by county:
• Route 152 (Walnut Street, Constitution Avenue, Park Avenue and Main Street), Sellersville and Perkasie
• Route 611 (Easton Road, Doylestown Bypass), Doylestown and Warrington townships

PennDOT said District 6 — the regional office that handles Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties — has received over 3,800 complaints about potholes since Jan. 1. They already have used over 925 tons of asphalt to address the problem.
City Hall also has turned its attention to potholes, a perennial concern among Philadelphians. Mayor Cherelle Parker has earmarked $7.1 million in her new budget proposal to create new street maintenance crews dedicated to fixing potholes.
