Description

There are 5-6 manholes close together that need to be raised on the westbound side of E Broad St. They are very low and/or sloped relative to the road, causing significant drops and swerving when driving over. They are also right at the on ramp to I-95 and a busy pedestrian crossing, making those even more dangerous. Thanks in advance,

    The manholes in question are not sanitary sewer manholes. They are communication manholes that are not owned by the City of Richmond.
