After two rainy days, the roads in the northern town of Bălți have turned into real lakes because of the potholes. Drivers say they cannot by-pass them

Auto mechanics warn running over potholes severely damages cars and even jeopardizes the drivers’ life. The drivers complain they have to take their cars to the repair works very often because of the puddles.

The mechanics say their clients grew by 30% after the snow had melted.

But the town authorities have refused to tell a Publika TV team when the roads will be mended.

18 mn lei are earmarked to fix the Balti roads in 2017.
