The Sinkhole Problem

Sinkholes have been forming since 2000 along the middle Bushkill Creek in the Stockertown-Tatamy area. The pictures below demonstrate the seriousness of the problem (many of these pictures were taken by The Brookwood Group).

Sinkholes just east of the northbound Rt 33 bridge, which is now closed indefinitely.
