TACOMA, Wash. — Tacoma is addressing the city's potholes during a weeklong emphasis that begins Monday.
Pothole Palooza will start June 3 and run through June 7. Over the week, the city has designated 10 different areas where scheduled work will take place. Two projects will be undertaken over each day, with road closures and detours in place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The Street Operations Team said crews will focus on arterial roadways that "have a large impact on the city."
Here is the full breakdown of which days and which areas are among the scheduled projects.

The city says a variety of factors went into choosing the locations, including pavement management data, ensuring each city council district was impacted, road conditions and the city's Equity Index.
Crews will be averaging "125-150 tons" of asphalt per day for this project, it said. A full tally of the completed work will be shared by the city soon after the event.
Tacoma said crews temporarily patched 12,099 potholes and permanently repaired 2,889 potholes last year.
