Huge pothole

Reported via mobile in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 18:33, Sat 21 June 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7743761.

Large pot hole that is not clearly visible until you are very close to it on the inside (left) lane just before junction 34 southbound. The was a significant bang when hitting at the speed limit of 70. The same level of noise I heard when I hit a pot hole in Colchester going 15 mph that did pop my tyre. Significant risk of vehicles having issues due to this, it should be marked with yellow spray at the very least so it can be spotted ahead of the near approach.
