Denver crews fill 100,000 potholes a year; tell us where the worst ones are

KUSA - It's the same story every spring. 

Colorado drivers begin avoiding right lanes, swerving suddenly and slamming on breaks to avoid popping their tires on the potholes showing up on nearly every road. 

In a typical year, Denver Public Works says its eight crews will fill 60,000 to 100,000 potholes across the city.

A three-man team can fill a pothole in just a couple of minutes.

And they always get especially busy each spring. 

Potholes are created when water seeps into the cracks in the road, freezes and then thaws.
