Statewide Iowa (RI) – The Iowa Department of Transportation is using a high-tech truck to patch potholes on busy interstates. Highway Division Administrator Tony Gustafson tells the Transportation Commission the truck allows one person to safely do the job.
Gustafson says the Dura Patch truck is like a rolling video game.
Gustafson says they plan to eventually purchase two more trucks.
This truck has been operating on the interstate roadways in District 4, which is in the southwest corner of the state. Gustafson says it has been a hit with employees.
Gustafson says the two new trucks would operate in District 1 in central Iowa, and District 5 in southeast Iowa.
