Significant dip/depression on M5

Reported via mobile in the Road surface (NH) category anonymously at 18:14, Monday 31 August 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 10028499.

We've noticed a significant dip forming on the inside/left-most lane of North bound M5 between junction 13 & 12. The depression has been getting deeper over the last few weeks since we've first noticed it, and cars going over it now visibly and significantly dip down close to the motorway road surface.

    If any work is needed, they will arrange for this to happen. Should no immediate work be required we will continue to monitor this during our regular inspections.

    Although we always aim to complete repairs as quickly as possible, timescales do vary as we try to minimise disruption to customers by combining activities into single closures and always ensuring the safety of our people.
