Amazing potholes considering this is a dead-end for motor traffic - but it's a National Cycle Route and a vital route to Addenbrooke's, so let's hope it gets fixed.
There are potholes everywhere in what used to be a civilised city, but an added annoyance is the amount of gravel thrown out of them, especially on Trumpington Road.
A pothole around a gully in Cleeves Quadrant, and the path to Priesthill & Darnley station diverging from the road at the bus stop, where there is no dropped kerb.
Monster pothole outside the ADC Theatre reported to the county council, who responded 'We are pleased to confirm that work has been ordered to address this issue which will be carried out within 12 weeks.'

Huge pothole. Any chance of it being fixed while they're working nearby on Barton Road? I'll ask but I doubt it.
Really terrible section of cycle lane opposite the Nuffield hospital - not just the potholes themselves, but also the gravel from the potholes, and cars are also slowing because of damage to the main carriageway.

Road giving way with lengthy longitudinal cracks easily wide enough to swallow a cycle tyre. This one appears to have been touched up by sprinkling some gravel into the whole. A very ineffective treatment.

It's time to resurface this section of the contraflow cycle lane - most cyclists prefer to swerve onto the carriageway to avoid it.
There are two new potholes on the Driftway - a major cycle route but not a through road, so we'll see how long it takes to get them fixed.
