In Dnipro, repair work has begun to fill potholes with cold asphalt (PHOTOS, VIDEO).

The utility workers in Dnipro have begun temporary repairs of potholes on the city's roads using the cold asphalt method, which is a short-term solution, as eventually hot asphalt will still need to be laid, reports "Vidomo".

Typically, this work is carried out in the spring, but favorable weather conditions have necessitated a change. The city council assures that this method has several advantages. The ability to repair at low temperatures – cold asphalt allows for work even during winter months when hot mixtures cannot be used.

Currently, "patches" are being placed in the central part of the city. How long-lasting this patching will be remains to be seen.
