Potholes are a plague this time of year in Pittsburgh, but what does it take to fill them? How many get patched, and what can regular people do to speed the process along? We’re taking all your nebby questions to Bill Crean, deputy director for the city’s Department of Public Works – including the worst neighborhoods and weirdest requests he’s gotten in his 40ish years on the job!

Call 311 to report a pothole to the city, or use their mobile app. For the county, call 412-350-INFO (4636) or visit CallCenter.AlleghenyCounty.us. If you need to report a hole in a state-owned road, use PennDOT’s Customer Care Center or call 1-800-FIX-ROAD.

And if you don’t know who owns your road, both the City of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County have maps to help you out.
