Carson City used the break in winter weather to address the recovery process. Public Works is leading teams to assess the damage. In the last several weeks, Carson City has seen a pattern of freeze-thaw temperatures which resulted in pavement cracks and previously filled potholes to break apart and raise, allowing water to enter the sub pavement. Repairs will soon begin in all identified areas, depending on factors including severity, upcoming weather and workload priority.
In the meantime use caution when driving over a puddle of water or snow because it might be a pothole in hiding. Public Works urges residents and visitors to use caution while driving on West Washington Street, Mountain Street, Fairview Drive, Carson Street, West Winnie Lane, Stewart Street, and Saliman Street.
