Actor and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger made headlines this week after posting a video of himself filling in what he said was a “giant pothole” in his Los Angeles neighborhood. The video showed Schwarzenegger pouring blacktop repair patch onto the hole, which appeared to be a long rectangular cutout of the street.
However, according to the City of Los Angeles, the area was not actually a pothole, but rather a service trench related to active, permitted work being performed by SoCal Gas. The work is expected to be completed by the end of May, and SoCal Gas will be required to repair the area.
Despite Schwarzenegger’s good intentions, the City of Los Angeles has clarified that the area he filled in was not a pothole, and that he may have made a mistake. Schwarzenegger and a few other people used shovels to spread the patch material and pat it down.
Schwarzenegger’s video has since gone viral, and while he may not have been successful in his attempt to fix the road, he has earned a new title: road maintenance worker. The saying, “the road to hell is paved with good intentions,” may ring particularly true for Schwarzenegger this week.
