Relief is finally coming to Ridgewood Road as worried drivers have been forced to drive around a growing sinkhole for nearly a year. WLBT reported:
The good news is that work will actually begin soon to repair the street. However, the sinkhole has been around since the spring. JJ reported in May:
Nice to see the media finally got around to covering this problem - more than six months later. It's also nice to see the city finally fixing the street nearly a year after it developed.

Will the contractor be certified? Asking for a friend.
I don’t understand why folks choose to live in Jackson. Any time advantage on the commute is erased by the slow crawl in 4WD to maneuver the potholes and/or the detours you must navigate to avoid the sinkholes and road closures. Holy shit the streets are bad in Jackson.
I'll believe it when I see it.

You are correct. I live in Fondren and usually drive a truck to work because of the potholes. I am looking in Madison now just because of the roads....and the theft and death.....but mainly the roads.
The City hoped it would seal itself off--
But never fear, we are neck deep in working on "spotting" food insecurity (whatever that means). Bloomberg even dodged couple hundred potholes to drive into Jackson to give the city 1 million to "spot" food insecurity. And to top it off, we are the fattest state in the nation.
Just throw some bottles and rocks in there and cap it with loose manhole covers.
Just throw in some old paint cans, rocks and sand. Then just patch it and all will be right for a few months.
City leaders had to negotiate their kickbacks. That takes time.
Baby Chocke became biblical, and exclaimed, "streets, heal thyself."
Giant Metaphor Develops in Middle of Ridgewood Road
Fill the potholes with empty gun shells. There seem to be plenty of them around, shouldn't take long.

You nailed it!
What about North State St between Fondren and Meadowbrook?
Perception of potholes.
104, what about N State Street between Fondren and Meadowbrook? Obviously you ain't from around here or you would realize that there is major construction work underway on N State Street, from Fondren to the Old Cherokee north of Northside.
Guess you are one of those magic wand wavers that believes construction work happens instantaneously and since it has started, the $19 million project should already be completed.
Took time to jack up the price to meet the 60% EBO requirement, the mayor “suggests” for all city contracts.
:20 ““Swerve out the way” is not correct grammar, :24 no subject, needs the word road 26: doesn’t have “feet down here” :34 the pothole isn’t the “cause of a broken sewer line”, it is the RESULT of one. How does no one call this reporter out in this?!
"How does no one call this reporter out in this?!" is very incorrect grammar.
Call Dominos!
Jackson is a shit hole.
@3:15 PM Please don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel, and go ahead and use colorful metaphors this time.
