Bridge expansion joint opened up

Reported via mobile in the Structures (eg bridges, fencing, noise barriers) (NH) category anonymously at 21:27, Friday 14 February 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7136758.

There is a high likelihood that an expansion joint on the southbound carriageway of the M53 has opened up on the Mannings lane flyover at junction 12. Especially, articulated lorries travelling at speed create a deep and loud thud when passing over the bridge or close to it. This had happened some tears ago and was fixed. Noises have begun again and increased in volume over recent weeks. This needs checking out before an accident results
