ROCKVILLE, Md. - The Montgomery County Department of Transportation launched a two‑day "Pothole Blitz" on Wednesday and Thursday to try and quickly repair potholes across 5,400 lane miles of county‑maintained roads.

Pothole reports submitted after the blitz will still be addressed within three business days, weather permitting, officials say.

Requests for pothole repairs on state‑maintained roads should be directed to the Maryland State Highway Administration through its online service request form or by calling 301‑513‑7300.

Residents who live within local municipalities, including Rockville and Gaithersburg, should report potholes directly to their local governments.

Since February 2025, MCDOT says they have filled 2,727 potholes on county roads.
