Large dangerous pothole on A40 motorway Witney towards Eynsham

Reported via desktop in the Pothole category anonymously at 15:07, Monday 27 January 2025

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7040854.

This is a new pothole as I haven't noticed it before today and this is a route I travel daily. The pothole is so large and deep that I changed lanes to avoid it as it will damage a car for sure. I got quite a fright when I saw it going at 60 mph. It's closer to Witney than Eynsham and on a portion of the road a little way after getting onto A40 just after McDonalds intersection. It's an extremely busy motorway and I don't want to risk stopping to take a photo as I would have to get out of my car to do so.

Council ref: ENQ251032813
