RHINELANDER - The warmer weather may make everyone happier. But when warmer weather comes, that also means it's time for pothole season.
When the roads freeze, the asphalt pushes up and breaks apart. As it heats up outside and the roads thaw, a pothole will start to form. City workers say Rhinelander is no stranger to potholes.
"Problem areas are the older streets, the main thoroughfares, the Kemp Streets, and Stevens and the Lincolns, where you're seeing ten to fifteen thousand cars a day," said Public Works Street Superintendent Tony Gilman. "That repetitive traffic just pounding on those potholes every day is just going to keep knocking that stuff out of there."
