I saw this vehicle for the first time driving up and down Sherbrooke on Thursday.

The print on the side of the truck called it the ‘Roadpatcher’. It has been interesting to see the variety of road maintenance vehicles that Montreal has. Such as the mini snow bulldozers or the truck that sprays water all over the street.

The arm off the front of the vehicle was spraying down a mixture of pebbles and low-strength concrete into any potholes or significant dips. But it seems like an odd time of year to do temporary fixes. This probably won’t last very far into the winter. The temperatures are still good enough to do a proper patch job of the potholes that have developed over the summer. It seems mid-winter would be a good time for this guy to make some rounds. But then again, these temporary fixes only have to last until everyone returns from the polls Sunday night, Nov. 6th.
