Immediate safety hazard for motorcycles riders. There is a huge pothole in the on ramp merge of the Webster street tube coming from Webster street on the right lane. The on ramp is underneath 880 so it is very dark and hard to see the pothole. The pothole is approximately 3" deep and 2ft by 2ft. If a motorcycle hit this deep pothole incorrectly, they will go over the handlebars and crash.
