Large pothole lane three

Reported via desktop in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 19:47, Wednesday 14 January 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8689826.

Large pothole in lane three of the M40 southbound just before the Loudwater slip. Pothole is approx 30cm across and very deep. Almost caused me to come off my motorbike when I hit it this morning. Very dangerous.

Updates

  • Extremely dangerous, needs to be sorted out ASAP, I was in my car at 6:30am, visibility was very low but when I went over this it shook the whole car as if I had entered a creator, I had to check for damage after arriving, luckily didn't have any.
