ITD is on pothole patrol

Dan Evans was frazzled after he pulled off Interstate 90 on Wednesday to fill up his truck.

The Post Falls man had just finished dodging potholes on the freeway in Coeur d’Alene.

“They’re like land mines out there,” he said. “It’s a rough go and you could easily damage your vehicle. It’s as bad as I’ve ever seen it.”

Jerry Wilson, a project development engineer for the Idaho Transportation Department, said the state is well aware of the hazards, on pothole patrol and repairing the damage.

“It is worse this year than it has been because of the freeze-thaw conditions,” Wilson said. “The road is tired. The winter is really rough on the roadways”/ Brian Walker , Press. More here.
