Description
The 1 foot+ diameter hole has started to sink again to about 6 inches deep again... Earlier in the year you put a 5ft x 5ft metal plate over the hole in the street, then you filled it. The whole was about 3 feet deep. How are you going to fill a hole that had NOTHING to support the "fill" underground? It's a scary thought that the street is suspended in mid air like that... Open up the hole, drop a box filled with fill to the height of the street, top it with a plank THEN pave... but what do I kow, I'm not an engineer, I just have common sense... hahaha Peace & God bless!

The sinkhole has grown to almost 4 feet x 2 feet at the end of my driveway, which is on Melrose Ave, even though my address is Ellsworth Street. BUT another steel plate will tear up my tires... Do you have ANOTHER solution that will WORK this time? Glad you guys are on it! THANKS!
