Pothole, 12th February

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 16:43:43 +0000
53.437286 -2.478362

Afternoon, I would like to bring to your attention the following. On the eastbound carriageway between J11 and J10 in lanes 2 and 3 there are numerous potholes that stretch continuously for approximately 1/2 mile. They are long, quite deep and thin. They provide a major hazard to motorcycles. During the day these can be seen and avoided however at night that section of the motorway is unlit. The potholes cannot be seen and for a motorcyclist who doesn't know the area they would be at significant risk of running into these when changing lanes. This has a significant risk of destabilising the bike and throwing the rider resulting in serious injury or death. I believe that immediate inspection is required to deal with this issue before someone is seriously hurt or worst. Thank you.

Long continuous run of potholes, 11th February

Sun, 11 Feb 2024 09:44:26 +0000
53.435781 -2.490874

A large stretch on the east bound side, mainly the third lane, is affected. It looks like the process used to remove temporary white lane markings has caused very deep ridges in the motorway surface. Some areas are extremely difficult to drive on, causing drivers to move to other lanes. The damage is getting progressively worse so needs addressing asap to avoid damage to cars and potential accidents.

There was a vortex separator improvement to Glazebrook outfall in the 'twenty teens'. Todays BBC story about carriageway runoff polution made me wonder whether the vortex separator is being maintained correctly. I am asking because I want to help prevent reputational damage to National Highways....

Long stretch of potholes in lane 3 where white lines used to be. The position of the potholes are where your off side tyres would be driving in the lane normally however this causes your tyre to be pulled into the potholes and gets stuck in them as you drive along

Huge long pot hole on lane two after you get on the m62 at birchwood and go towards Manchester. It says things have already been reported but the dates are December and July 2023. This is a risk and could burst a tyre. Lane 2 has had loads of potholes for a while but it has got worse because they’ve never been fixed

Entire road section just prior to J11 on westbound M62 appears to be very bumpy and uneven as if it has subsided. Been like this for considerable amount of time and many vehicles are caught be surprise by the poor quality. Disappointing given recent this motorway was recently upgraded and potential for an accident.

53.435538 -2.491239

At the peak of one of the bumps, small pothole opening up, lane 2, at the peak of the biggest hump. I remember a trailer becoming unhitched from a vehicle at a bump at this location several years ago. You ended up resurfacing the whole stretch of motorway for miles. Time to consider when to schedule this work again?

How long do we need to put up with driving on what can only be described as a roller coaster. I appreciate there’s signs saying uneven surface but for gods sake it’s abysmal. When are you going to address this? It’s been like this for years.
