It’s either potholes, or a maze – at least for the time being. If you’ve driven around Lakewood over the past couple of days, you’ll have likely found yourself driving around many orange cones in the roads.
Due to the tremendous amount of potholes – some very damaging – police and members from the OEMÂ drove around Lakewood, placing dozens of orange cones inside the potholes to avoid further accidents.
Well, why don’t they just fix the potholes? That’s the question many around town have.
The DPW is fixing as many potholes around town as they can, though, as explained in the past, the DPW during the winter only utilizes cold patches.
Additionally, with the snow coming, the crews will only work on the potholes until the snow comes down, at which point they will switch into storm mode, and begin salting and plowing, officials said.
The DPW will be hiring more personnel over the next few days to fill vacancies, officials told TLS today, and the pothole killer machine should be on its way to Lakewood in about 10 days to help with the process.
“Please be patient,” a township official said. “This is why we’re investing so much money in new roads around town.”
Should you notice a pothole, call it in to DPW at 732-905-3405, between the hours of 8 AM-3:30 PM.

Please! Somerset ave has 2 schools and needed to be re paved for years already!!! This town is a disgrace! Why don’t they have the pothole killer days ago?????
You think they should have ordered up that pot hole killer possibly 2 weeks earlier?
Lakewood has no money.
Hey Lakewood, Manhattan called and wanted to know if you needed more pot holes, or just a truck load of orange cones?
