Arkansas Highway Transportation Department (AHTD) crews are continuing to work diligently to repair the numerous potholes that have played havoc on drivers and their vehicles in the last few weeks. Rain, snow, and ice have each played their part in the destruction of roadways, as well as snow plows that clear the path in an effort to keep the county mobile. AHTD workers said they have filled some of the holes more than once in the last week but rain continues to wash their efforts away, such as the one pictured at the intersection of Hwy. 71 and Mena Street. Seeking better weather, crews are hopeful to have the repairs done soon.
