This originally happened 6-8 weeks ago and several safety cones have been there since it appeared. The area is so small vehicles have been traveling, unhindered in both directions (since it first appeared) with no delays or problems.

The County has repaired it once already. Cones remained after the first repair. It has now sunk a few inches again. Workers told me it was due to issues with a sanitary sewer line/ manhole access.

I suspect it is not alarming news to those of us who daily walk/run/ride/travel this section of Hillsborough.

Hopefully that may help settle understandable concerns. Of course that assumes the workers provided accurate information.

We live about a mile away, our home has not started tilting yet.

I have gone by it many times and wondered why someone doesn't fix it. You gave us a lot of great information, except, when will it be fixed?? Did the workers say anything about that??
