With Michigan motorists facing yet another season of nerve-shattering and frame-bending potholes, the Drive MI Campaign had a seven-week long contest to find the state’s biggest roadway crater.

The contest ran from February 11th – March 28th and awarded Four $318 “service center scholarships” – the average cost our crumbling and congested roads cost Michigan motorists – to each of the top four entrants who reported the worst potholes.
