The streets of Great Bend have been covered with ice and snow for most of January. As temperatures climb back into the 60s this week, those roads are unthawing. Unfortunately, residents are finding that means more potholes. Street Supervisor Tony Bronson said his crews are now in the process of filling those holes.
"The snow and everything we got, it had a lot to do with the potholes coming in," he said. "Once we bladed them and salt and sanded them, they popped up."
Bronson said street crews began filling potholes last week. Main roads will likely be first for repairs, but locations of potholes may be reported through the city of Great Bend website.
"We've seen some on 10th Street, 24th, Patton, and Broadway," Bronson said. "If they want to report it, they can go online and report it. We'll give them the list as they go out and see what we can do."
