  3. Anatomy of a pothole

    A winter with heavy snow or rain and many cycles of freezing and thawing can mean lots of potholes in the spring. What does this happen? Water from melting snow and ice seeps into pavement and the sub-material between pavement and the soil below.  When repeated spells of cold weather occur, the water in the pavement refreezes and expands, breaking up the pavement at and below the road surface. When the ice melts again, the resulting gaps inside the pavement and moisture soften the asphalt.  The damaged asphalt cannot support the weight of cars – as more vehicles pass over the weakened spot, pieces of pavement get broken away, leaving behind a hole.
