Owensboro Public Works Say “Bye Bye Bye” to Potholes; Here’s How to Report Them

It's that time again! Are y'all ready for the Annual War on Potholes? Owensboro Public Works sure is! To kick off the next few weeks of finding and filling those pesky buggers in the road, *NSTREET, not to be confused with *NSYNC performed a whole routine to say "Bye Bye Bye" celebrate. You can watch that here.

Why Are There So Many Potholes?

The weather changing from cold to warm over and over the past several months, weakens the asphalt making is susceptible to breaking apart and forming potholes. There are some areas around town that look pretty gnarly. I know there is one reoccurring pothole in particular by Owensboro Catholic High School on Parrish that has caused damage to some vehicles in the past.

Be careful as you drive your morning route and keep an eye out for any bad potholes that need attention. From October 28-November 8th, you can report their locations to the city public works department for repair.

How to Report a Pothole in Owensboro

If you have a pothole you would like to report, contact City Action by calling 270-687-4444 or you can email: cityaction@owensboro.org. It's best if you can be as specific as you can when describing the location of the potholes with street addresses, intersections, or identifying nearby landmarks.

Road crews plan to perform repairs in the reported areas from November 11th to November 22nd. Any damage that is reported on county or state-maintained roads will also be repaired. "We will pass the location of potholes on state or county streets to the proper officials.  Our goal is to have every pothole in the City identified and patched as quickly as possible. Please help us to maintain our quality road system by reporting potholes!"
