In Charlestown, WBZ NewsRadio 1030's Carl Stevens found potholes on Chelsea and Cambridge Streets and over the North Washington Bridge.
Potholes are caused when water seeps through cracks in the pavement. Over time, the water erodes the material under the pavement, causing it to sink and break.
The water under the pavement freezes, then thaws which causes the pavement to crack and deteriorate and results in potholes.
Potholes can be reported on the city's website or by calling the mayor's hotline.
