With as much practice as odot seems to have doing patchwork I'd have to agree. It'll be done quick but the first good rain and bye bye patch.

Drove over that area many times in the 4 years I was in Germany. Going to cause some major traffic problems.
exactly!
The Brits got the final shot of the war in it would appear.
Its not uncommon to find unexploded ordnance in Europe or Great Britain.
Don't know why this one made such a splash.
Yep, it happens quite often during construction or when water levels drop. Here's an article about a pair of WW2 aerial bombs that came to light when the level of the Rhine River dropped near Koblenz, Germany in 2011: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-16018659
From that story: "About 600 tonnes of unexploded ordnance are discovered in Germany every year, our correspondent says."
I would never have guessed that much!
I have seen a few potholes that I would guess a bomb of similar size caused.
