Common questions
Who is responsible for fixing potholes in L'Épiphanie?
It depends on the road. City streets are maintained by L'Épiphanie's Service des travaux publics, which manages roughly 69 km of roads, with municipal workers handling most of them directly. Provincial routes passing through town, like Route 341 and Route 339, are the responsibility of the Ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable du Québec (MTMD).
Does L'Épiphanie have a 311 service for pothole complaints?
No, L'Épiphanie doesn't appear to operate a 311 system. Your best bet is contacting the Service des travaux publics directly at travauxpublics@lepiphanie.ca or by phone through the number listed on the city's website at lepiphanie.ca/travaux-publics-transport.
What's the worst time of year for potholes in L'Épiphanie?
Spring is peak pothole season. After a winter of repeated freezing and thawing, the pavement has taken a beating, and as temperatures stabilize above zero the damage surfaces all at once. The city runs a dedicated repair operation every spring specifically because of this, though freeze-thaw damage can show up in fall and even during mild winter spells too.
Can I claim damages for vehicle damage caused by a pothole in Quebec?
Possibly. In Quebec, you can file a claim against the municipality or road authority responsible for the road where the pothole was. You generally need to show the road was in a defective condition and that the authority knew or should have known about it. Documenting the pothole with a photo, a date, and a location, which you can do right on RoadRot, gives you a timestamped public record that can support your case.
Why does Route 341 through L'Épiphanie get so torn up?
Route 341 carries roughly 13,100 vehicles a day through town, and about 10% of those are trucks. Heavy truck traffic accelerates pavement wear significantly, especially during Quebec's spring thaw period when load limits are reduced on public roads precisely because the road base is weakest. The Province announced a redevelopment of the Route 341 and rue Payette intersection in November 2025, which signals the traffic load there had become a recognized infrastructure problem.
