Recent thunderstorms have also been a point of concern

Recent thunderstorms have also been a point of concern Hoboken, New Jersey- The sinkhole in Hoboken is growing larger, and more need for tarps and sandbags are called for. This is located on Sinatra Drive near 13th street, and is 50 feet by 25 feet, with a depth near 8 foot.

The structures under the roadway have given way to rot, causing the street to be closed and traffic to be diverted. Many of the poly tarp coverings are being used underground while engineers are trying to find a way to correct the problem while keeping the rotting from becoming worse. There is some concern over erosion of the ground, and the equipment is being used to slow down some of the damage and the sinkhole from getting worse.

Recent thunderstorms have also been a point of concern for the town, and they have used the poly and canvas tarps to cover equipment and other things to prevent the soil from moving and the hole from becoming worse. The engineers are working against damage and increasingly bad weather to get this under control and repaired before winter sets in and makes the task harder, if not impossible to correct. A simple tarp enabled many to prevent more damage.
