A sinkhole that appeared near a police department in West Virginia last year has grown worse in recent weeks, threatening a local police department.
Pack said last week that WVDOH is mobilizing crews from around the state to assemble a temporary bridge to keep traffic flowing through the area while a permanent fix is complete.
The 125-foot temporary bridge will be built starting Friday along state Route 20 in Hinton until permanent repairs can be made to a 90-year-old drainage structure that collapsed underneath it, the Department of Transportation said in a news release.The bridge will be long enough to span the existing hole, even if it gets bigger, before contractors can replace the drainage structure, Pack said. Traffic will be detoured while the bridge is built.
Plans for a permanent repair were hampered by the discovery of toxic levels of lead on the site, the statement said. The highways department will repair the sinkhole without endangering the public or work crews.The Associated Press contributed to this report.and much more.
