National Highways’ inspectors carry out weekly safety inspections of the M69 and the last inspection was carried out on 25/01/2022.

Where safety critical defects, including potholes, are identified, they are made safe within 24 hours. Permanent repairs are carried out according to the severity of the defect, often within 28 days.

Repairs to the northbound carriageway were last carried out on 18/01/2022, and there are some further patching works currently planned to begin later this month with additional proactive patching due in March 2022.

National Highways will continue to review the condition of the M69 along with other routes on the strategic road network to ensure that future works are prioritised according to need.
