More Sinkhole Problems in Cape Girardeau, Missouri

Two new sinkholes are causing problems in Cape Girardeau, Mo., creating what city leaders call a “very dangerous” situation. The Southeast Missourian reports that the sinkholes are on busy South Sprigg Street, near LaCroix Creek. One is causing creek water to flood into a quarry. One sinkhole is about 50 feet in diameter and 15 feet deep. The other near the end of a creek bridge is about 25 feet in diameter and 6-8 feet deep — and growing.
