Pothole causes problems for city and drivers

Special to the Kansan
Men with hard hats and somber faces stand around a big opening trying to fix the hole that has become a menace to Lawrence.
Special to the Kansar
City officials June 3 discovered the pothole, which is now 40 feet long, 30 feet wide and more than 18 feet deep, at the intersection of North Second and Locust streets.
Water from a broken sewer and storm pipe seeped under the intersection, washed away the soil and caused the hole, referred to as a crater by city officials.

could have further pothole problems on its hands, Wildgen said.
The hole has created several problems for the city of Lawrence and its residents, Williams said.
"It is causing disruption of traffic, costing big bucks to fix and causing a lot of overtime for the workers," he said.
Williams said that he was uncertain how long it would take workers to fix the pothole and to take care of all the problems associated with it.
Until repairs are complete on North Second Street, Lawrence residents will be forced to take alternate routes on Elm. Third and Locust streets.
