On Tuesday, close to 10 cars were reportedly pulled over on the side of I-465 eastbound just before the Michigan Road exit and on Wednesday morning , there were at least five cars with flat tires at the I-65 / I-70 north split.

Why did these cars have to pull over or change tires while on the interstate? The answer is potholes.

According to FOX 59, there are still more than 6,000 open complaints on Indy Pothole Viewer and more complaints are coming weekly. See some Indy residents complaints on Twitter below:

FOX 59 also reports that the City of Indianapolis has already used more than half of the emergency funding that Mayor Joe Hogsett announced would be used fix the pothole problem across the city.

It’s been about one month since Mayor Joe Hogsett announced $14 million in emergency funding would be used fix the pothole problem across the city.

As of March 22, the City spent $8,545,936 of the $14,450,000 the Indianapolis City-County Council approved for emergency funding. That means there is $5,904,063 left of the emergency allocation.
