SNOW HILL — After a long, harsh winter, the roads and highways throughout Worcester are showing the signs of excessive salt use and plowing, but help is now on the way in the form of a $10 million special one-time appropriation to the counties and Baltimore City exclusively for pot holes and weather-related damage.
The Worcester County Commissioners learned this week Governor Martin O’Malley has signed off on the State Highway Administration’s special one-time appropriation of $10 million grant to be distributed among jurisdictions in Maryland for pot-hole repair and other road repairs. Public Works Director John Tustin on Tuesday alerted the commissioners to the pot-hole and other emergency funding heading Worcester’s way.
“During these winter months, our roads have continued to deteriorate as a result of snow and cold temperatures,” Tustin told the commissioners through a memo. “This has led to numerous pot holes along with the need to make extensive road repairs throughout the county. While exact areas of need have not been specifically identified as this time, the need for assistance remains.”

I there a web site established so that we can identify the location of potholes and save somebody's time?? Or is that not politically allowed??
The same potholes in front of our house for over 40 years. Once in a while a shovel full of tarry stones get thrown over a hole & patted down, but it does nothing to aid the situation. A complete waste of time.
