Albuquerque crews fill 2,000 potholes in a month after rain doubles reports

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Albuquerque city crews have filled about 2,000 potholes in the past month as the city works through a backlog after reports doubled from this time last year.

Recent rain has led to more potholes across the metro, and Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller said the city has a backlog of potholes to fill.

The city said crews are moving quickly to fill potholes before winter. City crews have filled about 6,000 potholes since July.

“Give our guys room when you see them out there working. Slow down, be cautious and just be safe out there, and if you have a pothole to report call 311,” said Fred Montoya, DMD Operations and Maintenance superintendent.
