The Tale of Two Sinkholes

The Tale of Two Sinkholes

August 1, 2016

Two significant sinkholes developed  between Bridge 2 and Bridge 3 north of Point Pleasant this weekend.  (This is a notoriously unstable area.)  Tomorrow, August 2nd, the Park staff will be draining down the Canal section by opening the waste gate at Bridge 4 in Smithtown and the waste  gate at Mountainside Inn in Point Pleasant.   Fish rescues will be conducted if needed.

Bi-State Construction will arrive next  Monday, August 8th to repair the holes.  The project is anticipated to take two days.

We commend DCNR for jumping right on the repair.
