Pothole right on interchange

Reported via desktop in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 14:31, Fri 10 March 2023

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4298768.

Further to the break up of the hard shoulder due to narrow lane running there is also now a huge pothole right on the M42 interchange. Cones have been put on the hard shoulder. However this is after that point. I swerved to avoid it but the lorry behind me hit it with a huge jolt. I wouldn't be surprised if even more people have to charge highways agency for blown tyres because of this. It is very poor preparation by the highways agency to restrict a road when the surface is not fit for purpose and increases delays further for motorists. Blaming the current weather doesn't cut it as these have been breaking up since the 'scheme' started and weather was much better then.
