"It's extremely dangerous.
"People need to be very cautious going down there, especially in the dark.
"If possible it might be best to try and stay off that stretch of road until the work is carried out and fixed.
"My colleague was straight on to highways, who put out some fencing around the area.
"However those panels slipped into the water as the road got worse, so we contacted highways again and understand they are going out again."
