Large pothole spanning both lanes

Reported via desktop in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 08:37, Thursday 12 February 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8899581.

East bound on A27 large pot hole around a metre or so wide spanning both inner and outer lanes so unavoidable. I would describe it more as crater as its larger than any pot hole i've seen before due to its surface area. Its around the slip road entrance but on the main A27 road but can't remember exactly. This is deep and if a motorbike rider hits this i would say that they might be thrown from their bike. I don't travel this road often so can't say how long its been there.

    We have asked our inspection team to attend this location and assess the issue. If any work is needed, they will arrange for this to happen. Should no immediate work be required we will continue to monitor this during our regular inspections.

    Although we always aim to complete repairs as quickly as possible, timescales do vary as we try to minimise disruption to customers by combining activities into single closures and always ensuring the safety of our people.
