A Rockford ‘Must Have': The Automatic Pothole Repair Machine
Watching this truck fill these potholes is mesmerizing. And unlike cold patch, which only last a few months, this is a permanent fix.
Take a look at the future of pothole repair. I'm no expert, but filling potholes with cold patch is such a waste of time. The potholes need to be filled, but because in late winter the asphalt plants aren't open, cold patch is the only option. The likelihood that public works departments make it back to fill all the holes correctly, is slim. This would take care of all those issues. There's no way this machine doesn't save Rockford, and other cities, millions of dollars. Just watch.
