Report a pothole in Tweed

Why Tweed gets potholes

Tweed sits in eastern Ontario's continental climate zone, where late winter and spring bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles that are hard on asphalt. The municipality formally implements seasonal half-load road restrictions each year specifically to protect roads during the spring thaw period, which tells you how seriously local officials take the damage. Water works its way into pavement cracks, freezes, expands, and then thaws again, and that cycle compounds with road salt to break down surfaces over time.

How to report potholes in Tweed

Tweed doesn't run a 311 system, so your best direct line is Public Works Manager Ryan Reid at rreid@tweed.ca or 613-391-7966. For after-hours emergencies, the municipality has a separate line at 613-848-8873. If the pothole is on a provincial highway like Hwy 37, that's Ministry of Transportation territory and you'd report it through Ontario 511. RoadRot adds something different: your report goes on a public map where other drivers can confirm it, which builds a visible record. If you want to push a rep directly, use the built-in email tool to send a complaint yourself.

Common questions

Who is responsible for fixing potholes in Tweed?

The Municipality of Tweed's Public Works Department maintains over 600 km of roads and streets. For provincial highways passing through the area, like Hwy 37, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and its contracted crews are responsible.

Does Tweed have a 311 service for reporting road problems?

No, Tweed doesn't appear to operate a 311 service. Your best option is contacting Public Works directly by phone at 613-391-7966 or by email at rreid@tweed.ca. For after-hours emergencies, the municipality can be reached at 613-848-8873.

What's the worst time of year for potholes in Tweed?

Late winter and spring are roughest, when the ground thaws and road bases soften. The municipality has formal half-load road restrictions in place each year specifically to limit damage during this period, which is a good indicator that spring thaw is a recurring and recognized problem here.

How do I claim vehicle damage caused by a pothole in Ontario?

You can file a claim against the municipality, but Ontario law sets a high bar. You generally need to show the municipality knew about the pothole and failed to fix it in a reasonable time. Documenting the pothole with photos, a date-stamped location, and any community confirmations on a public map like RoadRot can help establish that a hazard was visible and unremedied.

Does RoadRot send my pothole report to the Town of Tweed?

No, RoadRot doesn't automatically forward reports or contact the municipality on your behalf. What it does is put your report on a public map where other drivers can see and confirm it, and it gives you an email tool you can use to send a complaint directly to your municipal or provincial representative yourself.
