M18 northbound between junction 4 and 5

Reported via mobile in the Structures (eg bridges, fencing, noise barriers) (NH) category anonymously at 16:34, Sunday 8 February 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8868179.

The motorway fencing has been damaged. It is the metal wire section of fencing just before the wooden fence starts. For help with location it is just before the large blue 'tiredness can kill' sign. The wires are loose from the top 4 strands . They require specialist tools to tighten them. It is a long section that is loose . My concern is that animals or people could easily get onto the motorway. It has been loose for a few weeks but seems to have got worse overnight. I know this has been reported before and the wooden section was repaired. But this is a new concern on the wire part of the fence.
