The commuter chaos wrought by the Rideau Street sinkhole is nothing new for Ottawa commuters. Here are three of our most recent traffic-jamming sinkhole dramas.
Sink hole Laurier and Waller Street.
The Waller Gobbler (Feb. 21, 2014)
Work on a portion of the light-rail transit project was suspended in February 2014 to investigate the cause of an enormous sinkhole on Waller Avenue near the Laurier Avenue intersection.
The first sign of trouble was noticed the night before when material from the top of the tunnel started falling and workers stopped digging and left the area. Soon after, the road collapsed. The sinkhole, which measured eight metres across and about 12 metres deep, caused minimal delays for traffic. Cement was poured into the hole to stabilize the road shortly. No injuries were reported.
City of Ottawa crews work on a large sinkhole that appeared on St Joseph Blvd between St Pierre and Gabriel.
The Great Maw of St. Joseph (Oct. 7, 2013)
A sinkhole opened up on St. Joseph Blvd. in Orleans during a busy Monday morning commute in the fall of 2013. The hole was caused by a burst underground water pipe. At the time, city officials said 40-year-old concrete pressure pipe failed. Witnesses said water started spouting out and soon after the road cracked and collapsed. City workers were to turn the main off, fill in the hole and re-opened the road that night.
A car is seen after falling into a hole on the Highway 174 off-ramp at Jeanne D’arc Boulevard in this handout photo, Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2012. Fire officials in Ottawa say a driver suffered minor injuries after a car went into a sinkhole on Tuesday afternoon.
The 174 Plunge (Sept. 4, 2012)
A driver suffered minor injuries after a car plunged into a sinkhole on the Highway 174 off-ramp at Jeanne D’arc Boulevard in September 2012. The rear bumper and a wheel were all that was showing when emergency crews arrived at the scene. The driver, who crawled out with the help of a passerby, sustained only minor injuries. The hole was caused as a result of a collapsed storm sewer pipe under the highway. The city reopened one eastbound lane of Highway 174 a week later as worked around the clock to assemble a storm drain underneath the ground to replace one that failed and caused the sinkhole.
