The Subway Problem – Solved

I wrote earlier about the nearby road next to the highway that had started sinking due to the new subway construction. The holes have since been filled with a mix of concrete and dirt.

I’m not sure how I feel about this. I expected them to dig deeper and address the root cause. I still worry that the whole area might sink further. But if there’s no underground water involved and it’s just the subway, the patches may eventually settle and hold.

      1. There were serious plans during the Soviet era to build a metro in Riga in the 1980s. However, the project faced strong local opposition, especially around concerns about preserving historic buildings and the impact on the environment. After Latvia regained independence in 1991, the metro plans were officially scrapped.

    1. Well, this was our alternative route to get on the boulevard. The main one got closed for the subway station construction. I will be a bit more uncomfortable, circling around on small streets.
