Mayor Gusciora Launches Citywide Pothole Repair Initiative 

Mayor W. Reed Gusciora and Interim Director of Public Works Hector Weah today announced the launch of a comprehensive pothole repair initiative to address roadway damage caused by recent winter storms and repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

The initiative will deploy Public Works crews across all city wards to identify and repair potholes on major roadways, residential streets, and high-traffic corridors. Repair work will be prioritized based on safety concerns, traffic volume, and resident reports.

“Our residents rely on safe, reliable streets every day,” said Mayor W. Reed Gusciora. “This initiative ensures we respond quickly and efficiently to roadway damage across Trenton and address the impacts of recent severe weather.”

Repeated freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snowfall, and fluctuating temperatures have accelerated pavement deterioration, leading to increased pothole formation throughout the city.

“We are deploying crews strategically across all wards to address roadway issues throughout the city,” said Hector Weah, Interim Director of the Department of Public Works. “We encourage residents to report potholes so we can better identify problem areas and improve response times.”

The pothole repair initiative is already underway and will continue on a rolling basis as weather conditions permit, with ongoing assessments conducted by the Department of Public Works.

Residents are encouraged to report potholes by calling (609) 989-3200 to help guide repair efforts across Trenton. For additional information, contact the City of Trenton Department of Public Works at (609) 989-3151.
