Fulton Hogan Hiways says the backlog of areas needing pothole repair has decreased with the increase in resources but the conditions are still very challenging as some potholes repaired earlier have not had time to settle.
About 23 crews are now working on repairing potholes in the Central Division.
Fulton Hogan Hiways Operations and Maintenance Manager, Patrick Keenan says some of the crews begin their working day at 4am so they can do much of their maintenance work before heavy traffic begins.
Keenan says despite the rain combined with heavy traffic they continue to address recent pothole damage as well some of those they have repaired previously.
