North Arlington, NJ News: Pothole Killer coming to NA
The latest in road repair technology – the Pothole Killer — will be on loan to the borough from the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission on July 2,6,7, according to Councilman Chris Johnson. The Pothole Killer is an advanced, truck-mounted unit operated by one person that allows potholes to be repaired in minutes using biodegradable materials. Johnson said the borough will not have to pay for the manpower to operate the truck, only the raw materials needed to fill in potholes, which he estimates to be about $900. The Department of Public Works has mapped out a list of the streets in most need of patching, said the councilman.
“The Pothole Killer is a great piece of technology that will allow us to repair streets where potholes are a problem,” said Johnson.
The councilman said that although the initial pothole locations have already been mapped out, he said that residents whose streets need pothole repair call borough hall.
“If we can take care of a residents’ concern now we will; if not, I am sure will have access to the equipment again and we can fix more potholes in the future,” said Johnson.
The Pothole Killer was developed by Patch Management of Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania.
