So when is CalTrans going to repair the huge concrete potholes we experience every day that are in the truck lanes of the 5 freeway between Parker and Magic Mountain Parkway. Those southbound lanes contain some of the worst concrete breakage we have ever seen. We have observed big rigs swerving to avoid one especially in the 2nd lane from the right just past the overpass of the 126 hwy. Not only are these large fractures dangerous, but bits of concrete are being thrown up cracking windshields and scratching paint on passenger vehicles.
