Bridge deck joint on M42 SB approach to J3A is raised and highly dangerous
Reported via mobile in the Road surface (NH) category anonymously at 18:23, Sun 1 August 2021
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 2906507.
The bridge deck joint bitumen is raised significantly like a sleeping policeman. Hitting that at 70mph cause a significant impact to the tyres and must risk a puncture - deadly at high speed. This issue has been ongoing for some weeks and needs urgent attention.

Just to add (different person), this issue has been going on for a number of months, maybe even over a year now. This section of road is very dangerous and needs addressing.

It is eastbound carriageway that needs urgent inspection. Very dangerous now in lane 3!

Amazingly it’s fixed! I’m sure it was there in the morning and then gone in the evening. More of a wave now but definitely no bump!!
State changed to: Fixed
