Appalling Road Surface Condition
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5190291.
The condition of the WB c/way from marker ‘A180 B 45.0’ until Barnetby Top is dangerously unsafe, more so in Lane 1.
The amount of wear and attempts to patch up existing faults has caused Lane 1 to become a hazard. It’s invariably difficult to maintain a straight line whilst driving due to the constant dipping and dropping into patches that are sunk much lower than the surface of the offside parts in Lane 1. The nearside areas are completely unusable leading to an unsafe practise by vehicles having to take a line way right of centre or straddle into Land 2.
The c/way has always been poor in its entirety but this is becoming a real safety concern and there has been NO action since an identical report from August.
It’s not only causing damage to vehicles but presents a huge safety risk to its users.
Whilst work is still ongoing at Brocklesby Interchange, this is far more pressing.

Thank you for your email of 8 November 2023 about the poor condition of the A180. We understand your concerns and appreciate you taking the time to contact us about the issue.
We’ve checked and can confirm a full reconstruction of the road does sit in our concrete roads forward programme for future Road Investment Periods, however other areas of the Strategic Road Network have been shown to have a greater technical need and so have been prioritised for full reconstruction.
We do however have plans to deliver life extending works which includes the replacement of localised concrete bays and concrete repairs on the A180 between Barnetby and Brocklesby. We’re hopeful this scheme can be delivered during the current Roads Investment Strategy (RIS) period in 2024/25, pending further survey and development work. We’re provisionally looking at August 2024.
Please be assured that the safety of road users is our top priority. Our Inspectors will continue to monitor the road condition in this location and any immediate safety concerns be will raised and dealt with accordingly prior to the life extending work taking place.
Thank you again for contacting us. If there is anything we can help you with, please email or telephone our Contact Centre. They’re available 24 hours a day by phone: 0300 123 5000 or by email info@nationalhighways.co.uk Alternatively, please visit the National Highways website at nationalhighways.co.uk.
