Report a pothole in Mont-Joli

Why Mont-Joli gets potholes

Mont-Joli sits in the Lower St. Lawrence region, where winters are cold, snowy, and known for freezing rain. Quebec is one of the most freezing-rain-affected places in North America, and the northeast regions of the province are projected to see more of it. All that freeze-thaw cycling works on pavement the way it works on anything else with a crack in it: water gets in, expands, and the road surface loses the argument.

How to report potholes in Mont-Joli

Mont-Joli doesn't have a 311 system. For road surface problems during regular hours, the city's Public Works office can be reached at 418 775-7285 (poste 2160), and for after-hours or urgent issues like a dangerous road surface, the number is 418 775-5270. You can also reach the city by email at mont-joli@ville.mont-joli.qc.ca. RoadRot adds a public layer on top of that: drop a pin on the map, let other drivers confirm it, and if you want to push harder, use the built-in email tool to send your rep a direct message about the specific spot.

Common questions

Who is responsible for fixing potholes in Mont-Joli?

Municipal streets in Mont-Joli are the responsibility of the Service des travaux publics (Public Works), which handles pavement, sidewalks, and road maintenance across the city. Provincial roads passing through the area, including Route 132, fall under the Ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable du Québec (MTMD), so the right contact depends on which road you're talking about.

Does Mont-Joli have a 311 number for pothole reports?

No, Mont-Joli doesn't operate a 311 service. For road condition problems during business hours, call Public Works at 418 775-7285 (poste 2160). If it's after hours or the situation is dangerous, the emergency line is 418 775-5270.

When is pothole season worst in Mont-Joli?

Spring is the rough stretch, when freeze-thaw cycles are most frequent and snowmelt saturates the ground beneath the pavement. The Lower St. Lawrence region also deals with significant freezing rain through winter, which adds to the wear. By the time March and April arrive, roads that took a beating all winter tend to show it.

How do I claim vehicle damage from a pothole in Quebec?

In Quebec, you can submit a claim to the municipality responsible for the road if you believe poor maintenance caused the damage. You'll generally need to document the pothole with photos, note the exact location and date, and send a formal written notice to the city. The city has the right to contest the claim, so the more evidence you have, the better your position.

What does RoadRot actually do with my pothole report in Mont-Joli?

When you drop a pin on RoadRot, it shows up on a public map that anyone can see, including other drivers and local journalists. Other users can confirm your report, which builds a record of the problem. There's also an email-your-rep tool built in, so you can send a message directly to your municipal representative about a specific pothole. RoadRot doesn't automatically contact the city or forward anything on your behalf, but the public visibility and the ability to email your rep directly are the point.
