With decent weather expected over the next few days, the Ohio Department of Transportation is beginning work on temporarily fixing as many potholes as they can while conditions are right. ODOT says they will begin their pothole patrol across the state this week to find major problem areas requiring attention before the next freeze. ODOT says they use a temporary patch this time of year because manufacturing plants that produce the sturdier hot asphalt material are not open.
