Report a pothole in Drummondville

Why Drummondville gets potholes

Drummondville sits in the Centre-du-Québec region where January temperatures regularly drop to around -16°C and spring arrives wet and unpredictable. The ground can freeze to depths between 1.2 and 3 metres for more than four months, and when it thaws, pavement takes the hit. March and April are the worst months: the freeze-thaw cycle accelerates, moisture gets into existing cracks, and roads that held together all winter start to fall apart fast.

How to report potholes in Drummondville

For municipal streets, call 311 from within Drummondville or 819 478-6550 from outside the city to reach the Service des travaux publics, which handles day-to-day maintenance of city infrastructure. If the pothole you're looking at is on Autoroute 20 or 55, those are provincial roads under the Ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable du Québec (MTMD), so city Public Works isn't the right call for those. RoadRot works alongside those channels: you pin the pothole on a public map, other drivers can confirm it, and if you want to push harder, there's a built-in tool to email your municipal or provincial representative directly. RoadRot doesn't forward anything automatically, but a public report with community confirmations behind it is harder to ignore than a 311 call that disappears into a queue.

Common questions

Who is responsible for fixing potholes in Drummondville?

It depends on the road. City streets are handled by the Service des travaux publics de la Ville de Drummondville, directed by Jérôme Blanchette. Potholes on Autoroutes 20 or 55 fall under the provincial Ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable du Québec, not the city.

Does Drummondville have a 311 service for pothole reports?

Yes. You can dial 311 from within the city, or call 819 478-6550 if you're calling from outside Drummondville. That connects you to the Public Works department, which manages municipal infrastructure maintenance.

When are potholes worst in Drummondville?

March and April are typically the roughest stretch. The ground thaws after months of deep freezing, moisture works its way into the pavement, and roads that survived winter can crack open quickly. Heavy truck traffic on the Autoroute 20 and 55 corridors adds extra stress to road surfaces throughout the year.

Can I claim vehicle damage caused by a pothole in Quebec?

Possibly, but it's not automatic. In Quebec, you generally need to show the municipality or provincial authority knew about the pothole and failed to fix it within a reasonable time. Filing a report through 311 and documenting it publicly on a map like RoadRot can help establish that a hazard was known and reported.

What does RoadRot actually do for Drummondville drivers?

RoadRot lets you pin a pothole on a public map so other drivers can see it and confirm it. The more confirmations a report gets, the more visible the problem becomes. If you want to go further, there's an email-your-rep tool built in so you can send a message directly to your municipal or provincial representative about a specific road issue. RoadRot doesn't contact the city on your behalf, but the public record it creates adds pressure that a quiet 311 call doesn't.
