Bergen Street Sinkhole Filled, But It Grows

September 11th, 2008 · No Comments

We do love sinkholes and we’ve been following the saga of the one on Bergen Streeet between Hoyt and Bond in Boerum Hill for a while. Here’s the latest, per an email on the Boerum Hill Group:

The sink-hole re-sunk almost as soon as it was filled with asphalt; only the contractors made it bigger and squarer, so now it’s a bigger sinkhole. About 8 inches deep at this point and big enough to swallow a regular car wheel.

Certainly, there will be more to come.
