3+ Potholes / large openings in road surface

Reported via desktop in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 19:09, Wednesday 14 January 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8689633.

There are a number of widening potholes in the road surface on lane 2 (of 2) on the carriageway heading towards Wherstead Junction (travelling from Felixstowe). This is on the approach to the overhead bridge that crosses into White Cottage.

Issues on this section of carriageway have been persistent for a number of years with potholes frequently opening and being left for long periods of time. Ideally this entire section of road from Seven Hills > Wherstead could do with resurfacing - but appreciate that's a big task to be scheduled in.
