Potholes Galore! Here’s how to report them.

Reporting a Pothole:

To report a pothole for repair, drivers need to fill out an online Maintenance Request form, or call the TDOT Road Repair Hotline at 833-TDOTFIX (836-8349).  You will need to note the exact location including the route, mile marker and any nearby cross streets or interchanges. Old Hickory Blvd is classified as a state road and will need a TDOT request.

In Davidson County, drivers may also report potholes on Metro streets to hubNashville using their online portal.

What happens if a pothole has already damaged my car?

According to TDOT, claims for money damages against the State of Tennessee that involve the Department of Transportation are covered. The first step in making such a claim is to give written notice of the claim to the Tennessee Department of Treasury. To file a claim, visit treasury.tn.gov/Tort-Liability.

• If your claim is based on dangerous conditions on state maintained highways (e.g., potholes or objects in the road, you will be required to prove your claim, by providing the following:
  Proof of the incident directly causing the allged damage;

• The exact location where the incident occurred and records of your repairs;

• Evidence that the state was aware of the dangerous road condition prior to your incident; and
  Evidence that the state could have repaired the dangerous road condition prior to your incident and neglected to do so.

For more information on filing a claim or questions regarding the status of a claim that has already been filed, contact the Division of Claims Administration at (615) 741-2734 or visit the Tennessee Department of Treasury website.
