Dozens of motorists around Lakewood report damaged tires due to potholes

TLS has been inundated with messages the past few days about many potholes developing around town.

Potholes particularly develop in the winter season due to the roads contracting and cracking, allowing water to seep in.

Today alone, there were dozens of reports of damaged tires around Lakewood due to the potholes.

List the potholes around town you feel need immediate attention.

Yes. I got 2 in the last week. Is there anything to do about it? There are some shopping plazas that have real issues too.. Gourmet Glatt plaza has tons but they aren’t so deep. Shloimy’s plaza has almost a sinkhole BE CAREFUL!

Thank you for the warning.

You have to also watch out for small round manholes that are missing their covers. I think they may be connected to water or sewer.

THE WORST ROAD IN LAKEWOOD IS PAWNEE ROAD. PERIOD. FULL STOP. AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN REPAVED DESPITE THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. ITS LIKE DRIVING ON THE MOON WITHOUT A ROVER. IT’S AN OBSTACLE COURSE, EVEN SCARY TO WALK ON! SOME HOLES MORE THAN A FOOT DEEP. MAYBE WE NEED MORE TAXES.

Crazyy !! I just had my tire blow out due to a ditch that is to the entrance of wallgreens route 9 /Toms River. And thanks to Chaverim coming out late night!!
Since then I’ve seen thousands of crazy big ditches all around Lakewood! This has to been seen into. When we try to avoid ditches it can cause accidents too!

WASHINGTON between pine st and spruce is terrible . We need paving not just patches. Where are the tens of millions of dollars of property taxes going from all the new houses and shopping centers coming online every year ?

We need the streets to be paved properly and not just patched with sub-par materials that disintegrate every time the weather changes. Unfortunately that’s the reality we live in here in Lakewood. Drive real slow through puddles because you can’t see what’s underneath the water. You’ll have a much better chance of not damaging your vehicle.
