Abstract
A road patch for repair of potholes is disclosed. A pothole is preliminarily repaired with asphalt fill and compacted per current standard practice. Thereafter, a road patch is placed upon the compacted top surface of the asphalt fill, overlapping onto the adjacent road surface and compressed. The road patch forms a water proof seal over the surface area of the patch preventing water from seeping into the repaired pothole. The patch also resists crack propagation and minimizes the potential of asphalt chipping and the breaking down of the asphalt fill.
