New road started falling apart from the start

The A289 Wainscott northern bypass is in a dreadful condition to try and take photos would be dangerous.

To give you an insight the road was opened about 5 years ago. When open the surface was breaking up, and although part was resurfaced a couple of years ago, the main part as you exit the M2 is terrible. Large areas have pulled out, there are tram lines, and temp tar patches. The local authority have placed a 40 limit on the road but no one keeps to this, as it has now been like it for 3 months. This road is the main road to the Isle of Grain and the Medway Towns so is used by HGV’s and is very busy.
