Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry joined city crews as they filled potholes on the Northside Wednesday.
It was part of the City of Jacksonville's efforts to make roadways more smooth for drivers.
Curry said maintaining local roads is a priority for him.
Within the last 12 months, the city said they repaired more than 1,600 potholes.
“We have a lot of work to do and a long way to go,” he said.
“There was a year where there was no infrastructure done, that’s the year before I got into office,” he said.
One neighbor who didn’t want to be identified said she’s glad the work is being done because she has a pothole right outside her driveway.
“At least 6 months ago, this pothole was there but it only has gotten bigger and started sinking more as months passed,” she said.
Action News Jax reached out to the city and a spokesperson said the indentation outside her home is considered a cave in.
The spokesperson said her issue has been received by the Public Works Department and is an open case.
Action News Jax also asked the city if there was a priority list to fill potholes.
A spokesperson sent us a statement that reads:
“There is no set list of priority potholes per se. Public Works normally responds to a pothole report made to 630-CITY within a week. However, some potholes, once investigated, turn out to be more than a simple pothole and require far more work to repair them. For example, a pavement depression (assumed to be a pothole) could be the result of a drainage pipe failure, also known as a "cave-in." This type of repair requires far more work and time to address and restore as the drainage system that caused the "cave-in" must also be repaired. The pavement surface repair/restoration would follow the drainage system repair.”
