Description

I reported this 6 months ago and Huntsville utilities closed it twice claiming this was fixed when it clearly isn't. There still is, and always has been, a constant flow of water coming from under the pavement. I drive past this spot on my way to and from work everyday, so I keep an eye on it pretty regularly.

I'm not a civil engineer nor a geologist, but given the close proximity to a bridge that I assume goes over a natural creek, and it looks like the area around the bridge was probably built up during construction, meaning the terrain adjacent to the bridge where this leak is isn't naturally occurring, I don't see how this isn't what is slowly occurring:

I believe a very similar thing happened downtown recently and it made the news. It's going to look pretty bad if/when this forms a sinkhole that takes out not only the road, but possibly damages part of a bridge on a heavily traveled road. It'll look even worse when I point out to local media that I've been reporting this for over 6 months now. Because if/when this happens, you can be sure I will.

For the record, the pictures I'm posting were taken at 8:25 on 29 June 2017. I live pretty close to this location and can confirm we haven't had any precipitation since the morning of 24 June 2017 (remnants of Tropical Storm Cindy). There was some rain approaching the area when I took this picture but it had not made it to this intersection yet and all the roads were otherwise bone dry.
