Northern Avenue Collapsing

Northern Avenue Collapsing

The Northern Avenue has been collapsing. Victoria Burnazyan (EcoLur) has been conducting observations on Northern Avenue. The photo shows how the pavement was falling through as a result of soil settling. On 8 August 2011 V. Burnazyan took a photo of deformed hatch lids on the other spot of Northern Avenu. 

Reminder: Well-known hydrogeologist, PhD in Geological Sciences Ruben Yadoyan warned that collapses are probable in the center of Yerevan, including Northern Avenue as a result of forming underground empty places.  It is not excluded that collapses take place because of huge overload of many-storey buildings on soil having replaces small houses and green territories.
