County takes aim at potholes

PRESS RELEASE

With the arrival of warmer weather, Rockland County Executive Ed Day has directed the County Highway Department to launch an all-out assault on potholes. Crews are using a new asphalt recycler, which produces 2,600 pounds of hot mix asphalt – in as little as 15 minutes – at a fraction of the cost of buying new asphalt.

In an effort to save taxpayer money and the environment, municipalities across the nation are recycling asphalt and using their milling and waste material for road repairs.

If you see a pothole on a route maintained by the Rockland County Highway Department, you may request a repair in a variety of ways:
