A major road collapse has closed a northbound stretch of Manhattan's Riverside Drive, possibly for weeks. A huge hole, about 30 feet in diameter and just as deep, has traffic shut down from 135th to 143rd streets, in Hamilton Heights, though southbound traffic is still getting by. A sewage line broke Wednesday around 4 p.m. and washed away the dirt supporting the road.

Riverside Drive is a nice road! Don't you wish a 30-foot hole would open up in the Gowanus Expressway?

why not a 30000 ft hole?

This used to happen in Maputo all the time. After big rains, like the ones we're getting on the East Coast this weekend, you could almost count on hearing about a house or a road falling through the ground.
