    Hey, that’s my house!

    Awesome.

    A nice little one of these opened up in the brick sidewalk in court house right where 15th splits off from clarendon blvd. About 2 feet across and 2 feet deep. We’ll be getting lots of these as things dry out and warm up.


  • BallstonDude:

    Report it. They’ll get around sometime… maybe before next winter!

    I’ve reported other potholes before. The serious ones are usually taken care of pretty quickly. I would report this one myself but I don’t know the exact location and description of the surrounding area. You have to post the exact street address in the form.


  • Ben:

    Those bumps there are horrible. They need to fix that whole section of the street.

    Thank you for posting the Pothole Report form, Michael. I have reported it to my colleagues in the Water Sewer Streets Bureau, as well. You can also call our customer service center at 703-228-6570 to report potholes. We strive to repair potholes within 72 hours of the report, weather permitting.

    Crews have marked the pothole to warn passing cyclists and motorists. This particular pothole presents a different challenge than most and requires more than a standard patch. Crews are assessing the best solution and expect to begin making repairs within a week.
