Union County officials have announced a new way to report potholes around the county.
According to the county's website, The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders would like you to know there are resources you can use to report potholes to the proper agency.
“We certainly encourage drivers and commuters to report any pothole they encounter on roads throughout Union County to the responsible authority,” said Freeholder Chairman Bruce Bergen. “A pothole lives on until reported.”
With the winter weather that has just passed, potholes are a frequent issue for drivers officials said.
To report a pothole or any other issue with a county road, use an online form available through the Union County Department of Public Works and Facilities Management at http://www.ucnj.org/pot-hole/
The online form lists only County roads.
Persons without Internet access can report potholes on Union County roads by calling 908-789-3660.
For potholes on state highways, call the New Jersey Department of Transportation at 1-800-POTHOLE or use the online form at http://www.state.nj.us/transportation/commuter/potholeform.shtm
For local roads, contact the municipality in which the road is located. Website links for all 21 Union County municipalities are available through the County website, http://www.ucnj.org/municipalities
