Alberta Drivers: Pothole Pain Surges

0:00It's April 14. You're listening to Calgary News today, AI-powered local news. Alberta drivers are feeling the pothole pain this season, with a fresh survey from Next Door Canada revealing that 49% call them A, severe problem in their areas, and nearly 80% say they're at least noticeable. Freeze-thaw cycles are bringing back the craters everywhere, but cities like Calgary are stepping up, with crews fixing over 35,000. Locals in both 2024 and 2025. Locals are binting frustration, dodging hazards daily that mess with tires, jolt cars, and make simple drives. A gamble, especially on those tight, neighborhood turns. Highways aren't spared either, like deerfoot trail handling up to 180,000 vehicles a day, while crews monitor and patch non-stop. Those speeds make every hit count. Alberta's complaints sit just under the national average, hinting at slow progress, but as spring rolls in, expect those road bumps to keep testing.
