WINNIPEG – It still feels like the depths of winter, but city crews have already begun patching Winnipeg’s springtime plague: potholes.
The city announced Monday it has three hand-patching crews working on larger streets, such as Bishop Grandin Boulevard, and some local streets where potholes could become a safety issue.

“In frigid temperatures, crews must use a cold mix material to patch potholes by hand,” officials said in a news release. “Once temperatures rise to near 0 C, patching efforts will increase by using pothole patching machines (Road Patchers) and hand-asphalting crews to facilitate the timely repair of potholes.”
Potholes can be reported by phoning 311, using the 311 app or emailing 311@winnipeg.ca.
