Sunset Park water main break another in a growing list of street issues in the nabe
SUNSET PARK — It’s been a rough road for Sunset Park, literally.
The massive water main break at 44th Street and Fifth Avenue on Sunday, Nov. 24 is just the latest in a series of infrastructure issues that have plagued the neighborhood and its residents over the past few years, creating massive headaches for people living and doing business in the neighborhood to go with the massive sinkholes and water main breaks
In August 2015, a 20-foot wide and 20-foot deep sinkhole opened up at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 64th Street, closing the street to traffic. Repairs were finally completed in September 2016, over a year after the hole formed. It had originally been slated to be fixed by November 2015.
