(6) Roads ACT has responded to hundreds of potholes around the ACT and is working hard to repair remaining potholes. As at 19 August 2020, the repairs completed have used 8 tonnes of cold-mix asphalt. The likelihood of further potholes in the road network is high given the recent rain events. Roads ACT will continue to allocate additional resources to repair potholes until the requirement for repairs returns to normal levels.
