A ripped up road could cost millions to repair after mysterious underground movements left it so warped it looks like it had 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.
Local residents claim the subsidence has been getting worse over the last year and a landslip was inevitable.
Wiltshire Council said it is now waiting for a report from geotechnical specialists before taking further action.
Dr Mark McClelland, Wiltshire Council cabinet member for transport, told BBC Radio Wiltshire: ‘It could costs hundreds of thousands or up into the millions [to fix].
‘There is significant damage to the road. It could be up to 12 months in total. It’s not something that can be resolved in a matter of days or weeks.’
Dr McClelland added in some places the road had ‘buckled’ up to four feet, and descriptions of it looking like an earthquake were accurate.
He added: ‘The underlying ground has slipped and we need to understand why that has happened.
‘The police have been very clear that it’s very dangerous for motorists to ignore signage.’
The remarkable damage is also affecting local business, with local pubs like the Peterborough Arms suffering huge losses in bookings since the closure. [DM]

At the end of the new resident evil movie they destroy the town in a weird way. Basically the ground just bubbles up and implodes. I’m not sure if anyone know what type of weapon could of caused that… But this reminds me of that movie scene.
How many have considered the uptick in solar activity, and it’s effects on Earth? It may seem very mute, but, it does not take much when it tugs at the flexure of our planet.
No it’s not mute at all.This is scientifically proven to be possible and likely.
The Nephilim are beginning to wake up just like the Bible said they would !!
Earthquakes in the UK have already reached the yearly average and were only 2 months in . Put on your seat belts
Atlantic is being pulled apart. The Eurasian Plate is being stretched. For starters
Yeah I believe the old rift plates are on the move
Also think we are experiencing deep set microquakes.At mid range this can cause roads to buckle buildings to crack.Though its in a very small area like this road.Maybe one or two houses
Many of us have heard booms with an almost lyrical quality to them very deepset.No other explanation for them from any known source.I speculate they are very ancient buried faults reverse strike slips with a hanging wall.Either something triggers a microquake or causes the overhang to collapse.Due to the fact it’s in quartz it practically sings.They don’t happen often at least not yet.
