Mysterious 8-foot mound swelled up in Detroit street. Now we know why

THIS is how you do a thread with news instead of something that offers no information:



"Heavy material, unstable ground caused SW Detroit road to buckle, city says
Detroit News|2 days ago
The weight of materials stored in the area and the ground not being strong enough to hold it led to the rapid swell, Detroit's Chief Operating Officer Hakim Berry said in a statement on Monday."

That was speculated on in the original thread which seems to have disappeared for some reason.

Meanwhile, in River Rouge:

Ground swells in Southwest Detroit, River Rouge are both linked to Fort Iron & Metal

The same thing happened on Ashland street years ago. A big bump formed in the street, here is a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3_UzVYU6xo

I took my West Side fiancé over that in his '73 Gran Torino in '75 without telling him what we were doing other than to tell him to speed up...He married me anyway

I hit my head on the car headliner so many times it's flat up there now.

That's the new bump; nowhere near as good as the old bump.

A very close friend of mine lived for a few years right on the southern side of the Ashland bridge "hump". Regularly a car or two would come screaming around the corner from Jefferson and... surprise!... then land with a loud metallic thud right in front of his house. Once the driver landed a little off kilter and clipped and cracked his porch steps.

By code you have to test soil compaction limits before building to make sure the soil can support the weight of the structure.

Here somebody thought it was a good idea to pile tons of whatever next to a road that contained infrastructure at will.

There are detractors on this thread redirecting the the attention from this buckling in the street to some small incline on Ashland Street. Let's not take the attention away from city neglects

Did you ever drive over the Ashland bump? Not really a "small incline"
