Sinkhole on Carifesta Avenue filled, concerns remain

The area where the sinkhole had developed, which is now filled with concrete.

The sinkhole that had started developing on the eastern side of  Carifesta Avenue has been fixed but concerns continue that the original work might have been defective and that further problems will arise.

Concerns were raised about the structural integrity of the road after several small holes had started developing over the past few months. While the contractor, H Nauth and Sons, is repairing the holes as they appear, one, which continues to sink further, still currently sits on top of the Southern carriageway of the road, proving to be an obstacle to the flow of traffic. Stabroek News noticed some six holes, some of which that have already been fixed and some that are now forming.

While several holes were patched with what seems to be cement, the one that had developed recently was also fixed when Stabroek News visited yesterday.
