Starting in March the Missouri Department of Transportation will be focusing on repairing potholes to keep roads as safe and smooth as possible.

Mike Shea Maintenance Liaison Engineer with MODOT says the public is being asked to report potholes so the crews can assess the damage and complete the repairs as needed.

Motorists can report the location of potholes on state maintained roads by calling 1-888-ASK-MODOT or visit www.modot.org
