Moore Ave open for Tuesday morning but work remains

Work has begun to repair sinking pavement on Moore Ave opposite the south gate to Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. The road at this point is a well-used crosswalk for hikers and cyclists into the Mud Creek Ravine. Many decades ago travellers on Moore Ave crossed the ravine on a bridge where the Beltline Railway passed underneath. The road remains perennially unstable and has been rebuilt many times. Workmen at the site Monday night said Moore Ave would open “sometime tomorrow” and indeed the street was open at dawn Tuesday. But a large steel plate covers an excavation and it is clear work remains. City road crew tackles growing depression on Moore Ave2018.
