The Pothole Patrol has been deployed to deal with holes forming on City of Ottawa streets.
The City says the excessive water on roads following last week's snow and heavy rain is creating additional potholes across the City.
A cold asphalt is used by the City of Ottawa for emergency repairs to roads and patching potholes.
During the winter, frost penetrates deep into the ground and freeze-thaw cycles damage the roads by creating cracks and potholes.
