PennDOT to repair potholes this week in Chester and Delaware counties

KING OF PRUSSIA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced that PennDOT maintenance crews will work on several state highways this week to repair deteriorated pavement in Chester and Delaware counties.

The Philadelphia region experiences a high volume of potholes each season due to temperatures fluctuating between freezing and mild, known as a rapid freeze-thaw cycle.
