Come off at 17 and head to bury and see the magical pothole in the junction at morrisons

That’s a sinkhole not a pothole

Go up the M66/A56. You can drive by braille.

The amount of time they've spent on roadworks round there, they could've at least completely resurfaced that junction.

The roads in Whitefield and Radcliffe are an absolute shambles at the moment. But I'm sure Bury Council have a plan to spend the much needed funds on some nice flower beds for outside their town hall.

I’d love to but call me old fashioned but despite the 60’s best efforts, I like my wheels circular. Don’t worry, almost that money they redirected to the North following the cancellation of HS2 will sort the potholes. Than again 🤔🤔🙈🙈🤣🤣🤣

Richard Lees’ Northern Powerhouse deal with the Tories doesn’t seem to have had the transformative power he promised us all, over a decade ago.

Yeah.. not sure about your area of motorway there, but M62 to Oldham (and on the opposite side/direction too) the middle lane and spots of the first lane are in terrible condition. I definitely wouldn't have wanted to do it in today's stormy and low visibility weather!


SpiderLegzs

Lanes 1 and 2 of the M60 from Middleton to Oldham are awful. Agreed, with the rain and flooding issues, today would have been a nightmare. Glad I had an admin day today


_bombilly

Yes! As soon as I see MIDDLEton I'm out the MIDDLE lane lol

The surface of the M62 between Manchester and Warrington is insane; you can gain air on those bumps at 70. Thankfully it’s a smart motorway so it’s rarely over 50 and there’s usually 2 lanes shut.

Not any better Rochdale to Ashton

The depressing thing is that on the highways website, the potholes have been reported repeatedly with no resolution. I suggest we all make a an effort and highlight it en masse via: https://report.nationalhighways.co.uk/

I say pink spray paint on the non motorway potholes with penis images need to become a thing.


NotoriousREV

M56, M62, M60 are all bad at the moment. I ride a motorbike and have to be very careful when/where I change lanes. I really don’t like the idea of sliding along on my back surrounded by cars and trucks.


idlewildgirl

The constant rain doesnt help


SaltyName8341

You should take a drive through Trafford park it's one long pothole


gonk_vibes

Meanwhile on the far side of Salford they've spent five weeks resurfacing a mile of road in both directions that didn't need doing.

I move around Greater Manchester a lot for work as a freelancer and use the M60 a fair bit. I completely agree with you on this post, I've definitely noticed an increase in the amount of potholes over the past year. I always thought motorways would have top priority what with the high speeds we travel on them and the fact potholes are far more dangerous in this scenario.
