Late Tuesday afternoon, March 12, another sink hole on Highway 243 was revealed. This damage was near mile post 10.75 and occurred after many trips of large trucks transporting dirt for repair of the highway at Bay Tree Springs.

But the hole was filled with dirt. On Wednesday, the trucks could continue to travel north and south on the Highway, carrying the future fill.

Here is a view of the same site Wednesday, March 13.

This is where the dirt fill is temporarily being stored, until needed, for the repairs on Highway 243.

This is Highway 243 at Bay Tree Springs. The road was completely washed away and has to be rebuilt.
