The harsh winter has taken a toll on many roadways, leaving behind plenty of pesky craters, and starting today, Brick Township kicks off its Pothole Repair Program.

Mayor John Ducey said they had such a great response to the program last year, they're doing it again this year with extra manpower.

Specific pothole locations can be reported by calling the Township's Pothole Hotline at 732-451-4060 Option 1, email them to potholes@twp.brick.nj.us, or tweeting pothole locations to @TownshipofBrick or @MayorDucey using the hashtag #BrickPothole.

About 20 potholes a day were repaired last year. "It's going to be probably double that though, because we have two crews out, eight hours a day this year, because I want to get it done that much quicker," said Ducey.

Although the program officially begins today, crews got started Monday, according to the Mayor. "On Monday, we filled over 30 potholes in the Evergreen Woods section," he said.

The Township is only responsible for filling potholes on municipal roads, but Ducey said, "If you do let us know about a county or state road, we will contact the county or state for you." He added the Township doesn't have control over when potholes on those roads will be filled.

The majority of major roads in the Township (Route 70, Route 88, Chambers Bridge Road, Brick Boulevard, Mantoloking Road, Herbertsville Road, Lanes Mill Road, Drum Point Road, Hooper Avenue, Cedar Bridge Avenue, etc) are the responsibility of the State of New Jersey and Ocean County.
