Bossier City, La. – This week motorists traveling along Dudley Lane have reported a series of craters that are making the roadway hazardous. Drivers say the deteriorating pavement forces them to reduce speed and swerve to avoid damage to their vehicles.

City crews respond to complaints

The KTBS 3 Pothole Patrol dispatched crews to the area after receiving multiple calls from local drivers. The team, led by reporter Taylor Gibson, is part of a broader effort across the ArkLaTex region to locate and repair potholes quickly.

City officials emphasized that the public’s assistance is essential. “When residents report potholes with clear photos and location details, we can prioritize the most dangerous spots,” a spokesperson for the Bossier City Public Works Department said.

How residents can help

Anyone who encounters a pothole is encouraged to take a safe photograph, note the exact location, and email the information to [email protected]. The Pothole Patrol will review submissions and coordinate with municipal crews to schedule repairs.

In addition to reporting, drivers are advised to exercise caution, maintain a safe following distance, and avoid sudden lane changes when approaching damaged sections of road.

Ongoing maintenance efforts

The city’s public works team is conducting regular inspections of major thoroughfares and working with state partners to secure funding for resurfacing projects. While immediate repairs are being made on Dudley Lane, officials note that a comprehensive pavement maintenance plan is in development to address aging infrastructure throughout Bossier City.
