preparing to stabilize what’s underneath the road<\/a>.<\/p>\n“Effectively, they’re going to inject a lightweight concrete to provide some subterranean support, if you will, to provide a basis for that road to be repaved,” Deputy Public Works Director and Chief Engineer Bill Corbett said.<\/p>\n
Jack Johnson says the sinking road has become a problem on his property too. He says his driveway is also sinking, leaving his family with damage he says could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to fix.<\/p>\n
During a meeting, two councilmembers said they reached out to Builders Care to see if the organization can assist the Johnson family with his driveway. Public Works says it hopes to have a contractor out there within the next few weeks.<\/p>\n
The city has authorized up to $500,000 for the emergency repair, with the goal of stabilizing the ground and then repaving the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CAPE CORAL, Fla.
