A trench - likely man-made - has appeared on River Road in Bethesda, between Ridgefield Road and Whole Foods (Kenwood Station shopping center).
Part of it appears to have collapsed slightly, creating a pothole rut in places (enlarge photo to see more detail). Apparently, somebody thought this was a brilliant idea.
Just wanted to pass this along, as the polar temperatures are likely to only make it worse by the time the evening rush hour comes around.
Pass it on, if you know people who take River Road through there.
Heading towards DC in rush hour this morning, my front tire got stuck in this hole. I had to apply the gas to get out of it.
ReplyDeleteThat was at crawling speed. I imagine someone going 25mph will get quite a jolt.
Might be worth detouring around this via Little Falls Parkway-Massachusetts Ave.-Westbard-Ridgefield.
DeleteInteresting: no repair attempts yet, still terrible this morning.
ReplyDeleteYour tax dollars at work.
