Sinkhole on Main still in need of repair..

BELMONT—City workers experienced a case of déjà vu last week when a sinkhole on South Main Street reemerged. Belmont Public Works and NCDOT worked for months last summer to repair drain pipes that were determined to be at the root of the problem. The issues under the asphalt eventually caused a sinkhole around a manhole cover. Main Street was closed off for months while crews worked to resolve the problem. A year later, there is still more work to be done. “It’s a sinkhole that keeps popping up,” said David Isenhour, Public Works director. According to Isenhour, recent rains have contributed to the situation. But an additional repair was always on the books, he said. Isenhour described the repairs as a “twofold process.” Now that a major pipe has been replaced by DOT, the department will again need to partner with the City of Belmont in replacing smaller drain and sewer pipes. - read more -
