Worst major road in the country

Reported via mobile in the Road surface (NH) category anonymously at 14:18, Tue 11 March 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7261582.

This has to be one of the worst major roads in the country in terms of the condition it's in. The whole stretch from Peterborough to King's Lynn is dreadful. Sections are totally crumbling away. This is years worth of awful, inadequate repairs that has resulted in it being in such a poor condition. It is so dangerous and the whole road needs properly resurfacing. Patching small section only results in more potholes developing. Why are you prioritising spending 6 million on speed cameras over repairing the road? You are beyond incompetent.
