DETROIT – Michigan Department of Transportation crews are working around the clock, filling potholes across Metro Detroit.
Shannon Lazovski knows all about the pothole season firsthand.

“The pothole season is the worst. I’ve seen it. I had to replace six tires," she said.
That happened in just three weeks.
“After the first incident of having three tires replaced, one week later, another tire, and then three days after that, I got another flat,” Lazovski said.
That’s why she’s glad to see the crews patching up the holes that are causing so much damage.
Contracted crews repairing the worst of the pavement on I-696, I-75, and US-24 (Telegraph) will work during dry days, while county crews continue patrolling for potholes. Work occurs during the morning and afternoon rush to get as much done during dry weather. At times, only one lane may be open.
There will be daily closures. Closures for a specific day can be found here.
