Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8052777.

Many posts supporting the "Armco" barrier are rusted through. The barrier is not in a condition to prevent vehicles which veer off to the right from going down the embankment and onto the carriageway below. Location is 52.536005, -1.728282

  • Thank you for making your report. 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
