A Woodlawn Drive sinkhole that was caused by damage to a concrete pipe has been covered by a metal plate and is surrounded with warning cones.
It’s located just north of Blackland Drive, and is at the entrance to a driveway at 111 Woodlawn Drive. Cobb County Manager Rob Hosack has authorized spending $47,163 to make repairs.
The Cobb Board of Commissioners will be asked on Tuesday to ratify the spending request and formalize the emergency contract to Chatfield Contracting, Inc. of Kennesaw.
According to agenda item information for Tuesday’s meeting, the funding is available in the 2016 Cobb SPLOST transportation category for drainage improvements.
The repair work will include clearing an obstructed part of the 18-inch concrete pipe, repairing it, repaving the road and restoring the shoulder and re-establishing a drainage ditch.
The work should take around 30 days to complete.
