🚧 Pothole Season Has Hit the Town of Sweden — And It’s Hitting Hard on Some New York State DOT Owned Highways 🚧
With heavy snowfall and repeated freeze-thaw cycles this winter, potholes are surfacing earlier — and in greater numbers — across the Town of Sweden. Some of the most significant deterioration is being seen on New York State highways, including Route 19 (Main Street / Lake Road South) and other state routes running through our community.
While the Town Highway Department works hard to maintain town-owned roads, many of the roughest stretches residents are experiencing are maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation — NOT THE TOWN OF SWEDEN.
🛣 NEW YORK STATE ROADWAYS
(Including Route 19/Main Street, Route 31, Route 31A, Route 260)
⚠️ We are aware of the poor and worsening conditions on several state highways, especially Main Street, Lake Road South and Route 31. These roads fall under New York State DOT jurisdiction.
📞 Contact the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) 585-753-7780 or 1-800-POTHOLE
Please report:
• Large or hazardous potholes
• Areas with repeated pavement failure
• Safety concerns due to road conditions
The more detailed the location (nearest address or intersection), the faster crews can respond.
🛣 MONROE COUNTY ROADWAYS
Some roads in the Town of Sweden are maintained by Monroe County.
📞 Contact the Monroe County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) 585-753-7750
Reporting directly to the County ensures concerns are routed to the correct maintenance crews without delay.
🛣 TOWN OF SWEDEN ROADWAYS
For town-maintained roads (not state or county routes):
📞 Town of Sweden Highway Department
585-637-3369
We understand the frustration many residents are experiencing — especially on state highways like Main Street. The most effective way to get action is to report potholes and road condition concerns directly to the agency responsible.
If you see it, report it. Your calls make a difference. 🚧
