Brick sized object in right lane

Reported via desktop in the Main Carriageway (NH) category anonymously at 12:15, Sunday 29 March 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9206050.

On the A555 Manchester Airport Relief Road just before the road splits to join the M56 there is a grey brick sized object in the far right hand lane which I had to swerve to ovoid. It looked like a breeze block or piece of masonry.

  • Thank you for contacting National Highways.

    We have passed your report to our local inspector who will review the issue as part of their next safety inspection and arrange any remedial action.

    Littering and fly tipping by people is, unfortunately, a behaviour that has a big impact on some parts of our roads. We aim to keep our roads as tidy and free of litter as we can.

    Our litter picking is carefully planned to try to minimise the impact it has on road users and the safety of our people. Litter picks often require lane closures, which are disruptive to traffic flow.

    To help reduce the frequency of this disruption, where we can, we usually combine our reactive litter picks with other maintenance work which can result in what appears to be a delayed response.

    Kind regards

    National Highways
