Officials advise residents how to report potholes in Union County

UNION COUNTY – Now that milder weather is here, road crews will be out in force to repair the many potholes that developed this winter.

“This has been an especially difficult winter, and we want to get our roads back in shape as quickly as possible,” said Freeholder Chairman Mohamed Jalloh. “As you drive, please be mindful that crews will be working in the roadways.”

County roads are identified by their blue route signs, which include the letters “CR” followed by a three-digit number.

To report a pothole or any other issue with a county road, use an online form available through the Union County Department of Public Works and Facilities Management at ucnj.org.

Persons without Internet access can report potholes on Union County roads by calling 908-789-3660.

For potholes on state highways, call the New Jersey Department of Transportation at 1-800-POTHOLE or use the online form at nj.gov/transportation.

For local roads, contact the municipality in which the road is located.
