Episode Details

A giant 30-foot sinkhole has swallowed part of I-44 in downtown St. Louis, forcing a major shutdown between two bridges and causing massive traffic chaos. Caused by aging water mains, the initial repair plan hit a snag due to hard-to-source materials, so officials are now rolling out a revised design to reopen the highway faster—though full recovery won’t happen until next weekend at the earliest. The situation underscores the urgent need to fix America’s crumbling underground infrastructure, as drivers face detours and longer commutes. While the Eads Bridge remains open, several nearby roads are closed for safety. Officials promise updates as work progresses, but for now, expect more delays as crews race to fix the hole safely.
