Badly uneven & dangerous road surface on A56
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5817788.
There are a series of dangerous gaps in road surface / differentials in height along this stretch of the A56 (heading North) between the junction by Tesco (Syke Street) and the exit onto Grane Road (just before the A56 becomes the Haslingden bypass). On changing lanes my car hit one of these points on Saturday 6th April at around 12pm with such force that the steering is likely damaged and wheel likely buckled. Exact damage TBC by mechanic. This is highly dangerous! Not possible to safely stop and take picture of the road surface as there is no hard shoulder and this is a fast road, please fix this as a matter of priority!

Thank you for making your report about the road surface/differentials in height along the stretch of the A56 (heading North) between the junction by Tesco (Syke Street) and the exit onto Grane Road (just before the A56 becomes the Haslingden bypass) We have asked our inspection team to attend this location and assess the issue.
If any work is needed, they will arrange for this to happen. Should no immediate work be required we will continue to monitor this during our regular inspections.
Although we always aim to complete repairs as quickly as possible, timescales do vary as we try to minimise disruption to customers by combining activities into single closures and always ensuring the safety of our people.
Kind regards National Highways
