M56 westbound before Jct7. The carriageway way in lane 2

Reported via mobile in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 21:52, Friday 9 January 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8659741.

Large long pot hole has appeared in lane 2. This was deep enought to cause the Gshock to activate on my dash came. This lane is also suffered deterioration ever since the partial resurfacing after the Smart MWay being commissioned.
