Fixing the canyon on Catherine

From left, David Sofield and Mike Berry, with the Saranac Lake Department of Public Works, cut out a large sinkhole on Catherine Street on Tuesday. DPW Superintendent Dustin Martin said the road caved in after a storm around late March. A storm line had clogged, leaked and the torrential downpour of water eroded the land under the short, steep street. DPW workers started cutting out the old road on Tuesday and paved it on Wednesday. Martin said they should have the line replaced and the street repaved by the end of the week. Martin said he wanted to fix this street earlier, but the plant the village buys asphalt from hadn’t opened until recently, so there was a delay. (Enterprise photo — Aaron Cerbone)
