BRYAN, Texas Roads of any kind can contract and expand depending on how hot or cold it gets.
“The bigger temperature change you have, the more contraction you’ll have which leads to cracks and breaking,” KAGS Meteorologist Bob French said.
When it rains, water seeps into those cracks causing erosion and soon, you get a pothole.
“If they don’t get repaired, they get bigger and bigger,” French said.
Ranging from small to massive, potholes can be damaging to not only your vehicle but also your bank account.
