Map: Where Are the Potholes in Milford? (Everywhere, We Know)

We've created a custom map designed to collect your reports on potholes in your area of Milford. Now: help us fill it out.

It's been a rough winter. It's snowed, it's melted, it's been almost spring-like, it's snowed again, melted, and then frozen into a sheet of ice over our homes, cars, and backyard swing sets.

And, boy, has that done a number on the roads in Milford, as well as all along the shoreline.

Potholes 101

As most people know, potholes are caused when water that seeps through cracks in the asphalt gets underneath the paved surface and freezes, expanding and loosening the asphalt.

The more it freezes, melts and freezes again, the more potholes will form. And that's exactly what's happened this year.

See, Click: Get it Fixed

The job now is to tell Milford road crews where the potholes are, so they can start the large job of patching them up.

An online web tool See Click Fix allows locals to submit, and even plot on a map, local problems to an online portal that local highway departments and other services monitor closely.

And so, we've created a custom map above designed to collect your reports on potholes in your area of the city. 

'Report An Issue'

To log your pothole issue, hit "Report an Issue" on the map above. Include and address and problem description, and hit "Submit." Yes, it's that simple.

And then, just follow the same steps to report multiple pothole locations.

OK, Milford: Let's see how many we can log.
