HOBOKEN AND BEYOND — Police have said that six months after a large sinkhole opened at 14th Street and Sinatra Drive in Hoboken, a smaller one has now opened on Bloomfield Street between First and Second streets.
The block is cordoned off, as well as Second Street from Washington to Bloomfield, according to NJ.com.
Last month, the state gave Hoboken $1.5 million to repair the Sinatra Drive sinkhole, and the city also has passed a large bond for overall waterfront repair. The bigger sinkhole was blamed on shipworms chewing on the waterfront.
The cause of the new sinkhole is unknown as yet. Watch www.hudsonreporter.com this week for updates.
