    I came down to Cork today and at one of the bridges between Mitchelstown and Fermoy there was a worry dip in the surface of lane 1, just as the motorway went over a bridge. Does anyone know where this is, so I can report it? I don't think it was on a tolled section

    I drive that road every day and haven't noticed. Trying to think of bridges and the only one I can think of the one over the blackwater river. Don't think there is any other but I could be wrong.
    Going on holidays so won't be driving it for another 2 weeks, I'll check it when back.

    Would it be where the expansion joint on the bridge is ?

    Is it where the two bridges are very close to each other by Flagstaff Hill.

    I'm not sure, it could be the bridge on the River Funshion, but I wasn't very aware of my location at the time (I wasn't driving).

    Definitely not. It looked like an embankment was built up to a concrete bridge and the fill of the embankment has settled over time.
