UPDATE: ConEd Stabilizes 'Sink Hole' After Neighbor Complaints

MAMARONECK, NY — Within hours of being contacted about a large pothole, described as a "sinkhole" by neighbors, Mamaroneck officials have addressed neighbors' concerns.

A ConEd gas main under the hole in the road complicated efforts to make repairs. According to the Village of Mamaroneck Department of Public Works, ConEd crews placed a metal plate over the damaged roadway Tuesday night.

By early Wednesday morning, the plate was in place and there was evidence that crews had moved a large amount of debris from the area of the hole in the road on New Street at Ralph Avenue.

Village Manager Jerry Barberio said several utilities, including water and gas mains, run under the street. He confirmed that ConEd was asked to stabilize and secure the sinking section of the road by the superintendent of the Public Works Department.

Neighbors who live nearby, one of whom brought his concerns to Patch, said the hole in the road appeared several weeks ago. The string of seemingly unending torrential rains seemed to have made the under the asphalt erosion worse in recent days.
