Potholes are causing a nightmare on and off the North Shore once again Thursday evening.
Repairs on a pothole southbound at the north end of the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge that caused major traffic delays Wednesday are now causing backups for the Thursday’s commute home.
A plate put down to cover the pothole is reportedly causing flat tires and triggering huge delays as far back as Westview Drive, according to AM730.
Meanwhile, a second pothole, located southbound at the south end of the bridge, is adding to delays.
