Large amount of hazardous potholes that took out two drivers side tyres

Reported via desktop in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 11:31, Wednesday 9 April 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7410328.

There are a large amount of hazardous potholes, one in particular that's deep that took out two drivers side tyres on my vehicle. As the M60 merges into the M61 at the junction of Kearsley Moss. Left 2 lanes merge into M61 and become the centre and fast lane. There are numerous potholes and at night this is an unlit section of motorway, making it impossible to see the hazards approaching. Travelling here on 19th March and one pothole took out both drivers side tyres. This was reported at the time.

This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.
