Pothole on outside lane

Reported via desktop in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 22:38, Thu 18 December 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8567217.

Large pothole made hell of a bang on my commute home this evening, along with about 10 other vehicles who had to pull over with damage to the vehicle. Couldn't stop, on the A38 to see the hole but it needs fixing. Trip to the garage tomorrow as my tyre now has a bulge visible, who knows what is not visible!

Updates

  • This is extremely dangerous. We hit this yesterday and it destroyed a tyre and the metal wheel rim.

  • 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.
