There have been a lot of potholes around the Hamburg in Lexington, KY area after the past few weeks’ inclement weather. A pothole nearby in 40509 on Richmond Road caused multiple vehicles to pop tires last Tuesday night.
Lexington city crews have been busy for months trying to keep Lexington roads clear of snow and ice. Now they are turning their attention to potholes. Potholes are often created by the freeze-then-thaw cycle of winter.

You may call LexCall at 3-1-1 or 425-2255 and speak with a customer service representative. Office hours are 8 am – 6 pm, Monday–Friday.
