The Tennessee Department of Transportation says they are seeing more potholes than usual and Tennessee can't get the asphalt and contractors they need to solve this problem.

Davidson County has had many paving needs and projects, but TDOT’s Communication Relations Officer Rebekah Hammonds says they can't meet the demand because asphalt plants won't open during their off season.
