New York State has filled more than one million potholes so far this year as crews continue working to repair roads damaged by last winter’s weather.

Governor Kathy Hochul joined a state Department of Transportation crew near the Meadowbrook Parkway in Hempstead on Long Island last weekend to fill the millionth pothole.

The state says crews and contractors have used more than 39,500 tons of asphalt to fill potholes across every region of New York.

In the Hudson Valley, crews have filled about 150,000 potholes, while Long Island has seen 156,000 filled. The North Country recorded the highest number, with 178,000 potholes repaired.

The work is part of a larger road repair effort announced by Hochul in April. The state also invested more than $600 million in over 180 paving projects this year, covering nearly 2,150 lane miles. Together with other scheduled paving work, the program is expected to renew more than 4,000 lane miles of pavement across New York State.

Motorists can report potholes on state-owned roads outside New York City by calling 1-800-POTHOLE (1-800-768-4653). In New York City, potholes can be reported by calling 311. Potholes on local streets should be reported to the agency responsible for maintaining the road.
