The battle of the potholes, that
annual struggle between winter
weather and Brayn and College Sta
tion street maintenance crews, will
soon be under way.
Winter’s weapons are cold, rain
and ice. Moisture collects under the
road surface, making the asphalt
swell and pop out. Eventually, after
days or months of constant traffic,
the swollen section collapses. The
result is a pothole.
Street maintenance crews have
two defenses against weather s of
fensive, Bob M. Callaway, head of
the Texas Transportation Institute’s
Highway Materials Division said.
The first defense is a preventat
ive. It involves applying an asphalt
sealer over cracks in the road sur
face during summer or early fall.
This keeps moisture from seeping
below the surface. This is the best
and most inexpensive way to
minimize potholes, Callaway said.
The second defense, patching the
holes, is a two-part weapon.
Because asphalt will not stick to
moist ground, crews can only use it
as a temporary patch to fill holes.
This keeps roads usable until the
weather permits more extensive
work.
A permament patch is made by
removing any wet material in the
pothole and repacking and covering
it with asphalt.
Neither College Station or
Bryan’s street department superin
tendents, Alfred Miller and Vince
Nuche, knew how much fixing
potholes cost.
Nor is it known how many dollars’
worth of damage is done to cars that
are driven over potholes.
Damage depends on the size and
condition of the car, how fast it’s
going and the size of the pothole,
Callaway said.
The most common result is that
the front wheel alignment of the car
is knocked out, he said. The cost of
wheel alignment varies from $10 to
$20, on the average.
In addition, Callaway said, the
tire tread may become separated
from the tire itself. A driver might
not notice the separation until
high-speed driving causes either a
blowout or the loss of tread. Prices
for tires start at $20, but usually run
between $30 to $50.
