Crash barrier damaged

Reported via mobile in the Structures (eg bridges, fencing, noise barriers) (NH) category anonymously at 21:55, Thursday 9 April 2026

The crash barrier just before the M1 crossover bridge at the bottom of Keresforth hill road is significantly damaged, I don’t know how long it has been like that
