History Lesson
First between University Pky and Scenic Hwy is about 1 to 1.5 miles. Did they expect it to eat up that distance?

2nd back when 9 Mile Rd was a 2 lane Rd not well traveled there were sink holes in the woods and there are still sink holes/quick bogs in the woods of UWF.

I know this because I grew up in these woods. We knew where every sink hole and quick bog was.

The small strip mall at the entrance to UWF on 9 Mile Rd, it had a coffee shop a nail salon and ??? that was a swamp/marshy land, they brought in Red Clay and filled in the swamp/marshy land and built that bldg. Eventually the swamp is going to reclaim its land.

REGARDING:
“This is not a sinkhole!”

I have fished in sinkholes.

Maybe he means, “That’s not a sinkhole, THIS is a sinkhole,” picturing Crocodile Dundee explaining a smaller knife wasn’t REALLY a knife.

It still counts even if you can’t fish in it or even if it fails to swallow your house.

(And Cyrus is indisputably correct.)

Its obvious something is going on at this spot. It has already been patched at least once. Throwing more asphalt in the hole is just treating the symptoms. Either a storm drain pipe is leaking and pulling all the dirt into the storm drain or it a tree stump rotting that was paved over years ago. Dig it all up and fix it from the bottom up.

Never saw a hole that wasn’t sunk.

Looks like this one has been patched before. Thanks William Reynolds for definition. I’ve called them sinkholes also.

with all the heavy rains we have had and the fact it’s poor drainage systems and the fact so many people moving down here the roads are falling apart faster than they can repair or replace . this is only the beginning of many more sink holes our trees have been leaning every where Accross pensacola and other Florida areas . if we get a direct hit with a hurricane it’s going to be a nightmare for florida. I’m very concerned not only about the roads but rotting trees over people’s homes. trees leaning over roadways gonna need a chainsaw to cut your way out? I but wait there won’t be any gas . pumps closed.
