Potholes Appearing

Norfolk police have gotten several complaints over large potholes that have appeared on town roads recent­ly. At 6:41 p.m. February 24 a driver reported a pothole on Main Street on the way to Walpole. Later that same night, at 10:25 p.m., a driver reported a large pot­hole on Route 1A near Valley Street. (Route 1A, known locally as Dedham Street, is a state road.) At 9:52 a.m. February 26, a driver reported a pothole on Grove Street near Strawberry Lane. Potholes often appear this time of year as the ground thaws and the fro­zen water that has gotten into cracks expands as it turns from ice to liquid.
