The recent heavy rain caused potholes on major roads such as Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, Circumferential Road – 5 (C-5 Road), Roosevelt, Kalayaan Avenue, Shaw Boulevard, Commonwealth Avenue, and Ramon Magsaysay Boulevard.

The asphalt patching activities are part of DPWH’s maintenance operations aimed at preventing road accidents caused by potholes. The department’s maintenance crew is working to restore the damaged roads.

Since September 6, the agency has been deploying maintenance crews to repair roads damaged by monsoon rains and storm ‘Enteng.’

The presence of potholes on several major thoroughfares in the metropolis poses a danger to motorists and commuters.
