Pothole at entrance to slip road

Reported via mobile in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 09:50, Sun 14 December 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8544410.

Thetes potholes just past the slip road entrance (M62 Warrington towards Manchester).

I hit these on Thursday evening and there was a loud bang as I went over them on my passenger side.

I was driving to my Dad's and as I left his house the tyre pressure warning light triggered on my car for both tyres on my passenger side. I inflated them and they seemed ok as I drove home. I went out to my car last night and the rear tyre on the passenger side is flat, hence the delay in reporting this issue. I feel someone could end up with a blow out on the motorway because of this.
