Report a pothole 2014

Report a Pothole ASAP – Please!

Don’t assume that someone else will report them. Don’t assume it’s not a priority. The sooner they are reported, the sooner they will be fixed. The sooner they’re fixed, the lower the chance of them growing into more major issues. You can prevent more costly road repairs and damage to your tires and suspension.

The Road Commission of Oakland County patrols for, and repairs, potholes. But they also depend on help from citizens to alert them.

Pothole popping up everywhere

Pothole season in Michigan

If you see a pothole in our subdivision, or elsewhere in the county,  report it directly to the Road Commission.

  • Just fill out the short form on the Road Commission website and they will follow up.
  • If the situation is an emergency or potentially harmful call the Road Commission Department of Customer Services at 877-858-4804 between 7:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. weekdays or at 248-858-4895 after hours/weekends.

To report a pothole outside Oakland County…

(or state roads within the county)

  • The Michigan Department of Transportation has a pothole hotline for state roadways. Call 888-296-4546 any time 24/7, or use the “Report Potholes” link. Give the location, the county, the closest community and the cross street or interchange nearby.
  • Potholes on non-state roads should be reported to local road commissions since MDOT does not have jurisdiction over roads that are not part of the state system
