Large sunken area in road.

Reported via desktop in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 14:38, Saturday 3 February 2024

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5527673.

Under bridge before marker 84.7 travelling north there is a large hole appearing. It is more of a hole beneath the road than a 'pot hole' in the surface. It is in the right side of lane 1. I will have a qashqai with a high ride height and it felt very large and you actually drive through it rather than bump through it.
