Roads in Barrie are hopefully getting smoother for drivers, with city crews filling just over 3,600 potholes to start, with many more to still go.
The City of Barrie said crews had had a busy start to spring, filling hundreds of potholes every day since the snow melted.
“The start of warmer weather also means pothole season has begun,” Mayor Alex Nuttall said.
“When snow begins to melt, potholes become a major nuisance throughout the city,” the mayor continued. “As we head into warmer weather, our city crews will be out each day, filling potholes to make your drive a little smoother. We are working to make it easier to move around the city by updating and improving infrastructure and fixing more roads that need attention.”
