City of Delta crews have been busy day and night dealing with the pothole problem.

City of Delta crews have been busy and made good progress over the last week filling in potholes left behind due to the recent icy roads and colder temperatures.

While snow was pretty much gone in the Lower Mainland last week as temperatures rose and plenty of rain fell, Delta and other communities had to deal with all the potholes that appeared.

Caused by freezing and thawing, potholes of all sizes, including larger ones, have greeted drivers throughout Ladner, Tsawwassen and North Delta.

Residents had also posted on social media warnings about nasty-looking potholes.

On Twitter last week, the city said that cold weather, followed by heavy rainfall, created numerous potholes and city staff were actively working on filling them.

In an update this Tuesday, Engineering Director Steven Lan said they continued to have a dedicated pothole crew on regular day shift and an overnight crew working on them as well. 

Crews by that point have filled close to 250 potholes and continued to respond to any new requests from the public.

To report pothole concerns, residents can call the city at 604-946-4141, they can use the TalkDelta App or email the engineering department at Engineering@delta.ca.
