According to city officials, over 225,000 potholes were filled this past winter in Chicago. The number of potholes needing to be repaired has dwindled by over 350,000 each winter for the last two years, said Chicago Transportation Commissioner Thomas Powers.

The number has been minimized due to fewer freeze-thaw cycles this winter, which means fewer weakened areas failed. In addition to this, federal stimulus funding has allowed the city to repave over 31 miles of road. The city’s annual pothole repair budget ranges from $10-12 million.

Your car could be damaged by something out of your control, such as a weak road or an unseen pothole. Auto insurance can make sure that this kind of accident doesn’t cost you dearly.
