Well actually there WAS a hole but now it is filled in with pumpable flowable pea gravel-laden concrete with 2000 PSI strength. It was ascertained that due to poor compaction around the two manholes and two storm drains the earth had loosened and settled. The pipes may seep a bit as well. The filler we added will hold the road well and in the Spring we will investigate underground more thoroughly.
The orange barrel will be removed.
You will also notice there are nice tidy asphalt patches on the road as well. This should hold us for the Winter.
