This is where motorists think there are the most holes in the roads

The fact that the Danish weather is not exactly asphalt-friendly can be seen from the number of reports about potholes in the roads. In fact, reviews have doubled, a new report shows.

You are not entirely wrong if you as a motorist find that there are more potholes than usual in the surrounding roads.

Too many indications that this is the case. Since 2021, the number of inquiries to the Norwegian Road Administration about holes in the roadway has doubled from 581 reports in 2021 to 1,039 reports in 2023.

And in January this year alone, there was an increase in the number of reviews of almost 60 percent compared to the same month last year.

This is shown by a new settlement that the Norwegian Road Administration has made for Autoparts24.

Although potholes in the roads are annoying with the hard bumps and violent jerks in the steering wheel they can cause, Troels Meier, director of Autoparts24, believes that it is something Danes will probably have to get used to.

– Although there may be a number of practical challenges, hard work is being done to close the many holes in the roads.

– But they need to know the location of the holes, and therefore it is a great help when they are reported to the various 'giv et praj schemes', says Troels Meier.

There is one such, for example, in one of Denmark's largest cities. But here they have already given up on the potholes in the roads. At least their pace.

The patch solutions cannot be put down in the holes at the same rate as new holes appear. Read more about it here .
