Dangerous road surface, 26th March

Tue, 26 Mar 2024 17:42:06 +0000
54.260849 -2.812123

There is a long stretch of broken tarmac on the joint between lanes one and two of the westbound carriageway. It is more than a single pothole and whilst its not such a problem in a car, on a motorcycle it is a much more serious issue with loss of control being a likely possibility. The damage stretches from Levens junction to past the Gilpin Bridge junction. It has been like this for some time and is now getting seriously bad.

Potholes on the inside of the bend. The road in great in general but just on the inside of the bend there are couple of potholes which are quite deep. This road is used by cyclists quite regularly and forces them into the middle of road and can catch them out as the rest of the road is near perfect.

The potholes have joined ranks on both sides of the A590 just where the dual carriageway starts/finishes. If these were roadworks there would be ramps signs warning you that the road surface was dropping down a step. Since someone else reported it mid February I hope it is on the Highway's programme of works because a large area needs urgent attention
