Pothole season is here for much of the USA, and Akron, Ohio, has a new tool to combat it. Forget crews blocking roads for several hours while they dig out problematic bits of road before filling holes. A new device, dubbed the P5 Durapatcher, allows just one person to fix potholes in under two minutes. In the past, and still on many American roads today, crews of up to five workers handle potholes one at a time. They’ll dig out loose debris, shovel in fresh patching material, and seal it to get by. Those patches don’t always last, though. This new Durapatcher truck allows one worker to do the entire job in two minutes without even exiting the vehicle. Unlike traditional “throw-and-go” patches that might last a season if they’re lucky, Akron says this creates a permanent repair.
