A partially collapsed roadway has forced city officials to close the 1400 block of Meridian Place NW to vehicular traffic this afternoon. District Department of Transportation spokesperson John Lisle said the sunken area is about 20 feet by 4 feet, and that DDOT is already on the scene making repairs.



looks like that new restaurant on the corner is to blame!
The darker strip area with the manhole was already there for a while and yes that portion was already sinking in. Big whoop!
I hear Peter Nickles ordered a bouquet of flowers ...
Looks like someone didn't do a good job filling in the dirt after road work.
