The shifts in cold weather over the past few weeks have led to the formation of potholes in several streets throughout the Patchogue and Medford area.
Frank Petrignani, communications director of Brookhaven Town's highway department, told Patch that the department currently has deployed crews throughout the area to repair them.
"Thanks to above average temperatures, asphalt plants are open to supply hot mix material for these repairs," Petrignani said in an email. "The Department will continue its use of hot mix asphalt until the plants once again close. In the absence of hot mix, cold patch material will be used to continue addressing pothole repair."
Brookhaven residents, such as those in East Patchogue, North Patchogue and Medford, can report potholes to the highway department at 631-451-9200.
