Several of the highway\u2019s support columns now sit at the very edge of the sinkhole, and cracking is visible in the surrounding concrete, a clear sign that the ground supporting the structure has been compromised.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"366\" data-id=\"32133\" src=\"https:\/\/granitecitygossip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/street-inspector-cropped.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/granitecitygossip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/street-inspector-cropped.jpeg 702w, https:\/\/granitecitygossip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/street-inspector-cropped-300x156.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 702px) 85vw, 702px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"758\" height=\"392\" data-id=\"32134\" src=\"https:\/\/granitecitygossip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/under-bridge-cropped.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/granitecitygossip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/under-bridge-cropped.jpeg 758w, https:\/\/granitecitygossip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/under-bridge-cropped-300x155.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 758px) 85vw, 758px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"fonts-plugin-block \" style=\"font-family: Lato;font-weight: normal\">Bridge inspectors and emergency crews are on site evaluating whether the stability of the interstate has been affected.
