MDOT Has a Pothole Hotline!


It is said that only two things in life are certain- death and taxes. For those of us who live in  Michigan, the emergence of potholes in the Spring can be added to the list as well.  

The Michigan Department of Transportation has created a pothole hotline for state roadways. To report a pothole, you can call 888-296-4546 at any time of the day or night, seven days a week, or use the "Report Potholes" link. When you report a pothole, you will need to know the location, the county, the closest community and the cross street or interchange nearby.  

Potholes on non-state roads should be reported to local road commissions since MDOT does not have jurisdiction over roads that are not part of the state system.
