McIlhinney Urges Motorists to Report Road Problems
HARRISBURG -- Sen. Chuck McIlhinney (R-Bucks/Montgomery
Counties) is reminding motorists that potholes and other roadway concerns can be
reported by calling 1-800 FIX ROAD.
"Potholes and other road hazards can result in costly auto repairs and
accidents," McIlhinney said. "Calling the pothole hotline will allow the
Department of Transportation to address dangerous road conditions as quickly as
possible."
PennDOT's toll-free 1-800-FIX ROAD (1-800-349-7623) hotline connects callers

McIlhinney said that callers should try to be as specific as possible in

direction of travel (eastbound or westbound lane, etc.) and any other useful
location information (i.e. landmarks or nearby intersections).
Motorists can use the hotline number for any reason including:
