Sinkhole swallows road in Frederick amid costly repair efforts
A massive sinkhole along South Street in Frederick deepened to over 20 feet and widened to 30 by 60 feet, halting interstate ramps and triggering multi-day repairs. Crews poured concrete and rock to choke the throat while officials weighed cause, with water line breaks and quarry activity cited as potential factors. Authorities from Genstar, Maryland government geologists, and state agencies assess damage and long delays with costs estimated from fifty thousand to over two hundred thousand dollars.
