Sinkhole causing trouble for drivers on Pittsburgh street

PITTSBURGH — A busy Carrick street not only has a blind curve for drivers to maneuver, but also a blind sinkhole.

Kevin Kehren put up a cone and bucket around the sinkhole on East Agnew Avenue.

Since June, he has seen plenty of drivers hit the sinkhole and damage their cars.  Now he’s also smelling the problem.

“Every time it rained, we would see water profusely pour out over time. Now, we're starting to see sewage and toilet paper coming out of it and start to smell that sewer gas smell,” Kehren said.

He called the city and was directed to the Pittsburgh Water and Sewage Authority.

PWSA officials told Channel 11 they are aware of the issue, but they have a backlog of priority sites that need restoration work.  PWSA will have crews secure the site until a contractor can make the repairs.
