Officials say Street Maintenance has already repaired more than 5,600 potholes since January 1st.

The city says during next week’s street marking blitz, crews will repaint stop bars and directional arrows at about ten intersections.

Officials say the focus will be intersections with above-average accident rates.

The city notes pavement temperatures must be warm enough before crews can apply markings.

If you want to report a pothole, you can contact Street Maintenance at 812- 435-6002 or go to evvpotholes@evansville.in.gov.
