ELMSDALE:<\/strong> The province\u2019s Public Works department is aware of the big pothole that has formed by Elmsdale Lumber, an official spokesperson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gary Andrea told The Laker News on March 10 that they have plans to fix the pothole that has had many writing about it and wondering who to report it to on local community page East Hants Wants To Know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pothole is at the entrance to the lumber yard, across from Pete\u2019za Perfect on Highway 2 in Elmsdale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Department of Public Works is aware of the potholes in that area and will carry out repairs within the next 30 days, depending on the weather.,\u201d Andrea said in response to a query from us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Laker News inquired to see if we could get any information for residents on when a fix would happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that when it comes to pothole repairs, it is a year-round process.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause of the spring thaw, there tends to be more work this time of year and potholes are patched with cold mix or other means until a more permanent fix takes place during the summer construction season,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrea added that the provincial government has committed $161 million for asphalt and resurfacing of highways and roads this year in the five-year highway plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
