Title: ...and you thought OUR roads had suffered?
Post by: Nickbat on 06 February 2010, 00:15:03

"Seven kilometres of the southbound A1 motorway in Schleswig-Holstein, which runs north to south across the western half of Germany, have been so badly damaged by frost and snow that it has been closed indefinitely. Holes up to a half-metre wide have reportedly opened up all over the road."

Mind you, there's a stretch of road near me that is really falling apart - and it's a major bus route, so it's getting worse by the day.  :o

youngens have been racing down the rd here, dont think they realise what will happen if they hit a hole at 30mph. could be fatal.
