Major offensive against potholes in Saint-Laurent

As part of the Ville de Montréal’s “pothole operation” for 2008, repair projects were conducted in five places in Saint-Laurent between March 25 and 30. The potholes were repaired using thin asphalt, a new technique that, while more expensive, has a lifespan of four years. These repairs come on top of the 2000 potholes in Saint-Laurent’s service roads that were filled in between March 4 and 17. It should be noted that, at the beginning of the month, the Ville de Montréal announced that an additional $1.5 million would be added to the already budgeted $10 million to make necessary repairs to the 1000 km road network for which the city is responsible.
