LOS ANGELES — Fed up by an infinite pothole in his Los Angeles neighborhood, Arnold Schwarzenegger picked up a shovel and crammed it himself.

The actor and former California governor tweeted a video Tuesday of him and a helper utilizing packaged concrete to restore the street within the Brentwood space.

“Today, after the whole neighborhood has been upset about this giant pothole that’s been screwing up cars and bicycles for weeks, I went out with my team and fixed it,” he wrote on Twitter. “I always say, let’s not complain, let’s do something about it. Here you go.”

A neighbor rolled down her automotive window and shouted her thanks on the motion film star.

“You’re welcome,” mentioned Schwarzenegger, decked out in work boots, a leather-based jacket and shades harking back to his position in “Terminator.”

“You have to do it yourself. This is crazy. For three weeks I’ve been waiting for this hole to be closed,” he mentioned.

Daniel Ketchell, a spokesperson for Schwarzenegger, mentioned Brentwood residents made repeated requests for repairs since winter storms opened up potholes and cracks on native roads.

Mayor Karen Bass final week introduced a plan to deal with what she referred to as an unprecedented variety of broken streets throughout the town. Since Dec. 30, Los Angeles has obtained 19,692 service requests for repairs, and as of April 6, crews had crammed not less than 17,549 potholes, officers mentioned.

The Department of Public Works didn't instantly reply to an electronic mail asking whether or not the pothole Schwarzenegger crammed had been scheduled to be repaired.
