A section of Route 611 below College Hill in Easton will be closed for two to four weeks to repair a retaining wall.

Heavy rains in May damaged the wall at the cul de sac of Mattes Lane above Route 611,according to city public works director Dave Hopkins.

The road has been closed intermittently all summer for the project, Hopkins said.

"It's a fairly complicated project," Hopkins said.

The road will shut down for two to four weeks so by-passers on Route 611 won't be in harm's way from the work above. Work is expected to begin some time after this weekend, Hopkins said.

Traffic was at a crawl Monday morning due to work on the project, but that was in large part due to traffic rerouted from a crash on Route 611. The road was closed Tuesday morning but traffic wasn't nearly as bad, Hopkins said.

MIRI: The retaining wall of a drain at a residential area in Padang Kerbau here is coming apart, and one affected resident is worried his front porch may follow suit.

The resident, who wanted to be identified only as Richard, noted that soil erosion had been happening subtly in front of his house for years, especially when it rained.

I have been staying here for years, and I have seen how the retaining wall gradually gives way because of loosen soil.

As a temporary solution, Richard recently secured the retaining wall with a few pieces of wood and covered the exposed area with a piece of nylon canvas.

The Borneo Post noticed that lalang (long weed) and soil had blocked several parts of the retaining wall along the road intersection to Padang Kerbau, near Boulevard Roundabout.

Padang Kerbau and Boulevard are very busy areas, especially during peak hours.

I wonder how the authority, particularly the Public Works Department, could be oblivious to the condition of the drains here, said Richard, hoping that the problem could be fixed promptly.

Mayor believes there is not immediate risks to households in the area

Residents living on Snows Drive in Wabush received a letter today stating land near their homes may be considered unsafe under certain conditions.

Breaking News

The Town of Wabush has received complaints concerning the retaining wall on Snows Drive and land moving on the other side of the road for a number of years.

Wabush Mayor Colin Vardy said the council decided it was time to act, and hired a consultant Stantec to look into the problem. After drilling for soil composition of the bank and where it may slide, Stantec reported back their findings to the town, which immediately sent the study to the towns lawyers and internal engineer.

This is something weve only recently discovered, Vardy said. Were letting the residents know in a timely process. This isnt something weve been sitting on.

The six-foot-tall metal retaining wall was installed by a developer without the towns input, Vardy said.

The town did not request to have the wall installed, nor did we issue any permits for it. The wall does not belong to us, nor was it put there by our request.

Vardy added the town is looking into whos accountable and whos responsible to fix it.

We want to protect the residents any way we can and we want to make sure were not accepting responsibility of development which isnt our responsibility.

PennDOT officials were assessing how to restore traffic flow to normal Wednesday because of a retaining wall on a bridge that started to collapse a day earlier under the westbound lanes of Interstate 70 in Rostraver.

Our thing right now is coming up with a plan to get it stabilized and resume with the rest of the project, PennDOT spokeswoman Valerie Petersen said.

We don't have any estimate on how long it's going to take, she said.

Officials shut down the interstate Tuesday afternoon after workers discovered the retaining wall between exits 46 and 43 was moving. Beech Construction Inc. of Carnegie is replacing the bridge, which spans Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad tracks, Petersen said.

Traffic traveled over that section of bridge earlier Tuesday, Petersen said.

As they were working on it, (the retaining wall) kind of started to move, Petersen said. We needed to get traffic off the road.

Detours were set up, first manned by state police and others. The changes in traffic flow caused confusion and congestion, especially in the area of nearby Route 201.

There was a detour put in place. I don't know about signs, but we had people there moving people through, Petersen said.

Claire Holbrook, owner of Exxon 70 along Route 201 (Rostraver Road), watched traffic slow to a crawl in front of her business Tuesday evening.

It seemed like it was moving, but slowly. It was bumper-to-bumper. I think I did have some people (motorists) come in here. I know when it's bumper-to-bumper like that, sometimes people don't want to get out of line, Holbrook said.

The Hindu Works being taken up to construct retaining wall at Anna Nagar link road in Tiruchi - Photo: A.Muralitharan

The Tiruchirappalli City Corporation has begun the construction of retainer wall along the new bridge across the Uyyakondan canal built as part of the Anna Nagar link road.

A sum of Rs.70 lakh has been allocated for the work. The retaining wall is being constructed to retain the soil in the elevated curve along the link road connecting Anna Nagar Main road and Lawsons Road near MGR statue. It is expected that the wall will resist the lateral pressure of soil along the unnatural slopes of the link road. The 9-10 feet wall will extend for about 50 meters.

R.Chandran, Executive Engineer, Tiruchirappalli City Corporation, told The Hindu on Wednesday that the retaining wall would enable the opening of vehicle traffic from the MGR Statue to Anna Nagar Main Road, in addition to the trial run of existing one-way traffic from Anna Nagar Main Road to Lawsons Road. Similarly, laying of approach roads has also been undertaken. It had been decided to complete all works within a month. Traffic on both sides (two-way traffic) on the link roia was likely to be opened from November 15. Once the works were completed, there would be no need for the vehicles to pass via Pattabiraman Pillai road to enter Anna Nagar main road.

Similarly, corrective works had also been taken up to protect the mainline of Underground Drainage (UGD) which is passing near the newly formed link road in Anna Nagar.

The link road project was initially sanctioned at an estimate of Rs. 4.38 crore, which included a grant of Rs.1.20 crore from the Seed Capital Assistance Scheme of the Department of Town and Country Planning.
