The Sacramento County Department of Transportation on Monday starts its biannual Pothole Sweeps Week effort to identify and repair potholes. Work will start in the Arden Arcade area and will continue through the remainder of the unincorporated area, according to Sacramento County news release.
Sweeps weeks are scheduled in late spring to repair potholes caused by inclement weather and in early winter to ready road surfaces for the storm season, according to the county.

There are more than 5,200 lane miles of paved roadways in the county’s unincorporated area.
