A stretch of Wentworth Avenue was repaved just last year.

But despite the recent resurfacing and after a brutal winter, the street is heavily pockmarked by potholes.

Alderman Carrie Austin (34th) told newly appointed Chicago Transportation Commissioner Rebekah Scheinfeld about the problems with the recently repaved street and now the city has decided to do a complete audit of about 100 miles of roadway which were repaved in 2013 according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

The implication is that either the work or the materials used to repave those streets may be suspect.

The city says it may put any of the four contractors who’s work from last year is now falling apart, on the hook to repair the work they did.

Here’s the full story, “Complaint about cracks in repaved street triggers citywide audit.”
