steer, but that's not all...

"potholes can happen anywhere, but they're especially common this time of year when the snow starts to melt." "potholes are a problem that's caused by moisture and we have a lot of that in winter. right now where we're at with temperatures and you have the freeze, thaw, freeze, thaw snow melt that gets under the layers of pavement and starts breaking them out," said woodbury county engineer, mark nahra. some potholes have already been fixed but, the real work won't start till late march and early april...

"it can damage a lot of stuff. it can jar shocks, it could actually blow seals out of forks, it can definitely bend a wheel we've seen that on occasion so pretty harsh on things," said rooster's harley-davidson sales manager, cory tucker. he says to be aware of your surroundings and watch where you're riding to avoid those craters. the city of sioux city and woodbury county work to fill those potholes with asphalt continuously. but, depending on the size and where it's located... the asphalt could last 3 weeks or 3 years.

prevent potholes, but there are things you can do to protect yourself and your vehicle. if driving at night, travel on well-lit roads and always slow down. if you can't avoid a pothole, brake before hitting it so there's less damage to your tires. lastly, watch out for those workers on the road because they want the pothole filled just as much as you do. "we just ask that citizens when they see that pick-up truck with the red light going and guys in the bright yellow out working that they're careful around them," said woodbury county engineer, mark nahra. the city of sioux city streets department says they've noticed in recent years that filled potholes are lasting longer. but, if you notice a pothole, you can call the county office or your city's street division to report it and they will fix it as soon as they can. the steins and vines beer & wine festival was held at the sioux city convention center on saturday. 40 breweries and 12 wineries with booths are listed on the events website.
