Pothole Palooza to Kick Off on Monday, June 3

Crews to Showcase the Maintenance and Preservation of 10 Arterial Roadways Monday, June 3 – Friday, June 7

TACOMA, Wash. -- The City of Tacoma will be out for Pothole Palooza the week of June 3 - 7, 2024. During this time, crews will showcase the maintenance and preservation of 10 arterial roadway locations, with work slated to take place in each of Tacoma’s five City Council districts. Detailed information is available at cityoftacoma.org/potholes.

Traffic control, including lane closures and detours, will be set up to safely move vehicles and pedestrians through or around each Pothole Palooza work zone. Each location is different and will have its own unique traffic management needs. In some cases, traffic may be diverted or temporarily halted to ensure the safety of both workers and the traveling public. Notice boards will be placed at each location at least a week prior to the start of the work.

In the case of unforeseen circumstances or weather delays, any project that cannot be completed this week will be rescheduled and completed by the end of 2024 after the summer programs are finished. Following Pothole Palooza, Street Operations – as it does every day throughout the year – will continue to work on Tacoma’s streets.

The community is asked to continue reporting potholes through the Tacoma FIRST 311 Customer Support Center by dialing 311 within Tacoma city limits, (253) 591-5000 from anywhere else, or by visiting cityoftacoma.org/TacomaFIRST311.
