Potholes causing big problems for residents in Plum Grove

The plague of potholes in Plum Grove has worn thin on drivers and residents in the area.

“It takes a toll on the suspension of the vehicle,” said Juan Santana, a Plum Grove resident.

People said the potholes located on Plum Grove Road have been an issue since Hurricane Harvey.

"You have to pick your way through the roads through the potholes essentially, and so there (are) people swerving to the other side of the road to go around a pothole, which is understandable cause it tears up your car,” said resident Carly Sager.

Danny Dortch said he’s lived in the area for about five years and does his best to avoid the area. He believes the dangerous road conditions are being made worse by the type of vehicles that use the road.

“The big trucks are going to wear your roads out, take a heavy loaded truck down a small country road and it’s going to eventually put potholes in the road,” Dortch said.

Santana said people who live in the area have contacted the city and county about the issue but can’t seem to get a clear answer as to who’s responsible. We reached out to the Mayor of Plum Grove Lee Ann Penton-Walker about this issue.
