Potholes which run along the length of a major road in and out of Ipswich will soon be fixed by Suffolk Highways.
Following a number of reports about the potholes on Main Road in Kesgrave, the Reporting Tool appears to reflect that they will be fixed in different areas within the next 10 days.
It comes after around 80 reports were made from the Ropes Drive roundabout up to the main roundabout connecting to the A12.
A spokesman for Suffolk County Council said: "We are aware of the potholes along Main Road, Kesgrave, and the team were on site on Wednesday night making repairs to the first section.
"The team will return in the next couple of weeks to complete repairs to the other potholes, and these are in the process of being scheduled."
Kesgrave councillor Debbie McCallum said: "There are issues with potholes all over the country, the weather and cold hasn't helped.
"It has been exceptionally bad along Main Road and we've been regularly reporting them.
"I was driving along it and if there were a policeman behind me, he'd think I had been drink driving because I was trying to avoid the potholes and it's a busy road so you can't just slow down before you get to them otherwise there could be a crash.
"Some of my concerns have been over the fact that work has been done but it doesn't last five minutes because some rainfall and it ruins the work.
"We are on it though and I have been in contact with the Suffolk County Council portfolio holder for Highways and they have sent someone out to look at it and it appears as though work will be done swiftly.
"I want to thank Highways for responding to my request quickly and for ordering works to be done on the road.
"They are under a lot of pressure around Suffolk because roads everywhere in the country are struggling because of the weather.
"If there are any other issues, I urge residents to report it on the Highways tool and if you get a reference number, then feel free to contact me and I can take it further."
