Potholes on expressways across the Chicago area will be patched on Friday and Saturday, weather permitting.

Motorists are being told to expect crews working between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Friday to fill the potholes, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Crews will also be patching holes between 6:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, IDOT said. The work will require intermittent lane closures.

Recent rain and freezing temperatures have increased the number and severity of potholes on area roadways.
