Pothole

Updates

• There is two holes that have appeared one of them being from a previous repair. They are on an expansion joint that runs across lane 1 and 2 from the eastbound exit slip and goes onto the bridge that goes over the M66 the holes are in my opinion more than 20cm in width and deep enough to drop a wheel in far enough to damage the tyre of a car. This is dangerous for motorcyclists that might be angled negotiating the roundabout, they have been reported previously and it would appear poor repairs have been carried out hence re emerging fault.

• 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
