Slippery diagonal metal plates on A1(M) to A14 slip road bridge at Brampton Hut (PE28 4NQ). High risk for motorbikes in wet/winter conditions—urgent anti-slip coating needed

Reported via mobile in the Road surface (NH) category anonymously at 13:11, Saturday 7 February 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8860273.

Safety hazard: Diagonal metal expansion plates/joints on the curved bridge section of the slip road from A1(M) northbound to A14 eastbound. These plates are highly slippery for motorbikes, especially in wet, cold, or winter conditions due to the bend and poor grip. Located at Brampton Hut Interchange, near Brampton village (postcode PE28 4NQ). Exact spot: Midway along the curving slip road bridge, approx. 52.3327°N 0.2485°W. Please inspect and consider adding grip treatments to prevent accidents.
