It's about 3 feet in diameter, new pavement, and its filled in so poorly that theres a huge lip on one side and a raised 'wave' of pavement that is about as large as a speed bump on the other, sort of like:

I don't think I would have stayed upright on my road bike unless I was paying attention, let alone in the sticks on the TT rig. I don't know how the city could have possibly made a pothole I don't really remember existing into a death trap, but they have succeeded.
