UK road warped by mysterious underground movements

[Still Waters]

A ripped up road could cost MILLIONS to repair after mysterious underground movements left it so warped it looks like it was been hit by an earthquake. A section of the B4069 near Lyneham in Wiltshire has been so badly damaged the tarmac has completely snapped or is at a 45 degree angle. Wiltshire Council say the road has been closed since February 17 - but some drivers are still trying to use it according to police. The earthquake-like damage has been caused by unexplained underground movements which will now be investigated.

Good Grief! What the heck would cause that?

I notice in The Telegraph's article there appears to be construction upslope, which the author of this blog frequently cites as a trigger for land movement.

£10,000 for tarmac

£100,000 for labour

The rest for shareholders.

An underground Alien base, of course!

There's one on every Ley Line in Wiltshire.

So of course it was blown up?

The Greys sold it to the Nordic ET's for £1 as a tax write-off.

Unfortunately, the Nordics are too tall, so they had to extend upwards.

Sure its not the mole people trying to take over the surface world again?

Looks like a landslip to me. Either that or Graboids.

Wiltshire is major shale gaz production region in the UK. They are fracking like madness out there, destroying the underground structure of the soil. Not surprising to see these effects on the surface when you have deep underground subsidence.

Now that could explain it. I've heard of similar events happening elsewhere in some fracking locations.

Just the Tremors!

Looks like half the roads in Staffordshire.

Fracking in the UK was put on hold in 2019 and the government won't be issuing new licences. There's no fracking taking place in Wiltshire at all - licences were issued in 2016 but no exploration or active fracking took place.

Strange stuff it was a nice possibility but didn't follow the latest news of the hold. Nice that it's not fracking ! Probably landslip and road slip due to the heavy rains that they got even if It doesn't look like they have a lot of slope out there. They have some old marble and coal mines in the region tho.
