Since April, Cheshire East Council's highways team has dealt with 10,233 potholes, while patching repairs have extended to more than 80,000 square metres.
Repair work is categorised in three different levels according to the status of the road and the type of vehicle usage.
Level three surface treatment – the most extensive form of treatment and investment – has been carried out at various locations across the borough and Cheshire East's highways team has now treated more than 84 kilometres (52.4 miles) of road surface to this high standard in recent months.
Further carriageway and footway resurfacing works will continue into the autumn.
Councillor Glen Williams, Cheshire East Council deputy cabinet member for environment, said: "I have personally observed some of our gangs at work in Goostrey and Macclesfield and it is extremely impressive to see the professional and efficient way they go about the task of resurfacing our roads to make them safe for our residents and road users.
"I was amazed at how quickly the job is done, so that any inconvenience to residents and road users is minimised.
"The council is investing more than £20m in its highways improvement programme and, as well as road repairs, we are also mending bridges, introducing speed management initiatives and completing the four-year LED street lighting switch."

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
The 'repair technique' would seem to need re-evaluating. It has to be more cost effective to to implement a robust repair the first time, even though that costs more per visit, than keep going back and doing it again and again using an inferior technique.
Why do CEC waste our money on half story press releases?
Does everyone agree that they have done such a splendid job that they deserve to have the contract renewed fo another fifteen years?
Macclesfield Rd junction Adlington Road... Green Lane near Cibo,
Gravel Lane near The Jockey... Manchester Rd near Warham St,
Broad Walk.... to name but a few.... I could go on
Macclesfield Rd junction Adlington Road... A disgrace and a hazardous one at that.
It's bad enough on four wheels but heaven knows how two wheel users are meant to stay safe .
And it will get only worse when traffic increases from a fully occupied 'Bollin Park ' and 'Heathfield Farm '
Cheshire East should be ashamed.
"We've fixed 10,233 out of a reported 12,000" might be worthy of a self congratulatory press release - or could just be regarded as the council just doing the job we pay them to do.
"We've fixed 10,233 out of a reported 500,000" would give a whole different slant to the story.
A lot of the roads around here are still really bad - so I suspect this is just spin to hide the true extent of the problem. It would be good to know how long the backlog will take to repair.
Let's hope that this winter isn't as bad in terms of new potholes appearing everywhere.
