Falling tree

Reported via desktop in the Vegetation (grass/hedges/trees) (NH) category anonymously at 00:32, Mon 17 April 2023

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4448231.

There's a falling tree at the side of the M55 just after Blue Moor (road/bridge over M55) just after the Kirkham junction (Jct 3) heading east towards Preston. It's hung up on another tree but should it fall there's a chance it could land on the carriageway. I can't find a way to attach a screen shot from my dashcam, however, it's visible on google maps street view in high quality. It's directly above the Wide Loads sign, about 100 yards before the start of the cones for the road works. It's visible on google maps for Oct 2022, but not Oct 2021.
