A friend of mine called me earlier tonight from Bneider telling me that the road was blocked towards Saudi near the Starbucks rest stop because of a new sinkhole in the road. I found the picture above via the almubarkia blog showing the hole. This is the second sinkhole on the 40 this year, the first one was back in February.

Shit..
damnnnnnn
Highway 40 is sinking… >|<
Hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like there is no sub-base for the road construction – just asphalt laid over gatch. From what I’ve seen, most of the roads here are built this way; sink-holes, cracking, and subsidence are sadly inevitable.
Crikey!
Geez, you’re toast if you come across that on a motorcycle.
