MoDOT prioritizing pothole repairs

(KLZA)-- Missouri Department of Transportation crews are focusing on pothole repairs as weather allows and throughout the spring to keep roads as smooth and safe as possible.

The public is being asked to report potholes so MoDOT’s maintenance crews can assess the damage and complete the needed repairs.

MoDOT maintains 34,000 miles of road, including interstates, U.S. and Missouri routes, and lettered routes. In 2025, MoDOT patched more than 650,000 potholes at a cost of $20 million. This season, MoDOT will have approximately 300 pothole patching crews working statewide to respond as soon as possible after receiving a report.

Motorists can report the location of potholes on state-maintained roads using the following tools:

Call the 24/7 Customer Service Center at 1-888-ASK-MODOT (275-6636).

Use the Report a Road Concern form at www.modot.org.

In some areas of the state, Waze users can report potholes using the hands-free reporting feature within the app.

Potholes on city streets or subdivisions should be reported to local city or county maintenance.
