The New Jersey Department of Transportation is kicking off its annual pothole repair campaign on Monday, targeting the damage left behind by a harsh winter.

News 12 was on Parkside Lane in Bayonne – one of several streets in the city and across the state still dealing with major pothole problems.

State transportation officials say they expect to repair more potholes this year than they did last year. Most of the work will focus on highways, which fall under the state’s responsibility. That means drivers may see lane closures on some major roadways while crews make repairs. The DOT says it will try to avoid working during peak travel times.

For drivers dealing with potholes on county or local streets, officials say to contact local Department of Public Works offices.

Potholes on state highways can be reported online through the New Jersey Department of Transportation.
