Sinkholes Wreak Havoc - I-24 Sinkhole And Canada Sinkhole
If your evening commute includes I-24 in Tennessee, the I-24 sinkhole is sure to throw a wrench into your plans. A deep sinkhole opened up on I-24 between Chattanooga and Nashville, and shut down a 13-mile stretch of the heavily traveled road. Last week in Canada, a family was killed in their basement as a sinkhole opened up. So what is the deal with all of these sinkholes?

I-24 sinkhole stops Tennessee traffic
The I-24 sinkhole opened up Tuesday according to the Tennessee Department of Transportation. A tractor-trailer barely missed the hitting the sinkhole after it opened up, and nobody was injured or had to take out new car loans as a result of the sinkhole. At 40 feet long and 25 feet deep, the sinkhole will take $ 266,960 to fix, and authority hopes repairs will be completed by May 22. The contract was given by a private contractor. The I-24 sinkhole is between mile marker 127 and exit 127. Traffic has been detoured around the sinkhole on Eastbound lanes, though Westbound lanes have not been closed.
Canadian sink hole responsible for family of four’s deaths
A sinkhole that opened up in Canada ended up killing a family of four. One family happened to be in their basement as the sinkhole opened up outside of Montreal under several homes. Neighboring houses were evacuated, and the area is being treated as a disaster rehabilitation area by the Canadian government.
What is a sinkhole, anyway?
There are usually many different causes for a sinkhole to open up. Usually, water either running below bedrock or seeping in from above works away at the underlying support of an area. The water slowly dissolves the rock, and eventually the weight above the area simply becomes too much. At this point, a sudden sinkhole appears. Sub-surface waterways, sewer piping and abandoned mines are some of the most common causes of sinkholes. Though Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida, Texas, Alabama, Missouri and Pennsylvania tend to have the most sinkholes among U.S. states, sinkholes can be difficult to predict.
