Potholes are not uncommon this time of the year due to the \u201cfreeze-thaw cycle\u201d Yakima experiences when precipitation, in the form of rain and\/or snow, seeps into small cracks within the asphalt pavement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cfreeze-thaw cycle\u201d causes moisture to contract and expand; increasing the size of the cracks. As vehicles travel over these cracks, the asphalt pavement begins to loosen, thereby creating potholes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City crews continually monitor for potholes, repairing them as quickly as possible to reduce further damage to the roadway and to ensure safety for drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With over 400 miles of streets in the City of Yakima, the City is asking for help in reporting potholes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaving residents and community members reporting the locations of potholes, greatly assists Public Works in their effort in repairing them in a timely manner,\u201d said Public Works Director Scott Schafer. \u201cMore eyes on an issue provide for better results.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potholes can be reported using the City\u2019s \u201cYak Back\u201d feature at https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/yak-back\/<\/a> or calling the City\u2019s Street Repair Hotline at (509) 576-6713.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
