Spring road hazards are here

LETHBRIDGE- With the weather starting to warm up, more and more areas are revealing blemishes on city streets.

Pot holes are the most common obstacle causing a problem for drivers but they are not the only culprit.

Frost boils occur when water gets underneath the asphalt and expands, creating bumps in the road that can crumble and cause more damage than a pot hole.

Pavement failures can also cause severe damages to vehicles, steering, tie rod ends and rims can all be easily damaged by potholes.

You can report a pothole or frost boil by using the City of Lethbridge App.

Red Crow Boulevard West between Peigan Court West and Lakhota Crescent West will be closed to traffic starting Tuesday, April  22rd for about two days for road repair.
