Highway crews working on potholes

Crews from the Kansas Department of Transportation are working on patching potholes this week, according to a KDOT spokesman.

The crews are using a cold patch method and also a spray patch method, the spokesman said. Temperatures must be above 50 degrees to use the hot mix process in spray patching, according to the spokesman.

Lanes may be closed while crews are working on potholes.
