Schwarzenegger's Viral "Pothole" Fix Revealed as Utility Trench Repair

The "giant pothole" that Arnold Schwarzenegger claimed to have filled in his Los Angeles neighborhood was actually a utility trench that had been covered with temporary asphalt by Southern California Gas Co. The city has notified the utility company to maintain the site pavement until permanent paving is constructed. Schwarzenegger's video of himself and a crew filling the trench struck a chord with many commuters frustrated with the poor road conditions caused by heavy rains.
