GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Unseasonably warm temperatures this winter has kept Green Bay’s Public Works department busy…filling potholes.
Green Bay Public Works director, Steve Grenier, says it’s been another bad winter for those pesky holes.
“When we have temperatures moving around, if it goes above freezing and back below freezing, that’s the worst thing in the world we can get because that does foster pothole development.” Grenier says during the winter they are typically busy working on two main things…plowing snow and patching potholes.
And despite recent spring-like temperatures, they are ready for another winter blast.
“We’ve been out and we’ve brined all the primaries, so all 142 miles of primary streets in the city of Green Bay have brine on them.”
Crews will be keeping an eye on the road conditions throughout the day and re-salt the roads if needed.
Grenier reminds the public that they typically don’t start plowing unless there’s two inches of snow on the ground.
