Officials in El Paso County and in Colorado Springs say that they’re repairing as many as or more potholes than they did last year, even with more streets repaved than ever before.
County crews have patched 12,000 potholes, 3,000 more than last year; city crews have repaired more than 92,000 — which may fall just short of two recent years with a record of over 100,000.
There are several reasons for the increases: Crews are still catching up from an unusually wet spring and summer of 2023; more potholes are being reported; and officials have more crews on duty to fill the mini-craters.
