Thank you for your patience whilst we completed the repairs in relation to your report. We can confirm that all safety critical road surface defects have now been repaired, and we hope that this improves your journey.
Also as the weather has got colder the deck slabs on Rayhall Viaduct have shortened, due to thermal expansion/contraction, leaving a larger gap for the joints between them to fill. As a result the joints sit a little lower than in the summer months. This causes a thud as you drive over them similar to a pothole would. If you require any further update on this issue our Customer Contact Centre is available 24 hours a day at: • 0300 123 5000
• info@highwaysengland.co.uk
Please quote 21815673 to discuss this matter further.
Kind regards Highways England
