A four-mile section of La. 70 South in Assumption Parish will be closed periodically from 9 p.m. Sunday to 3 a.m. Monday, parish officials said. The closure will allow a truck to ride the highway section, vibrate the surface of the road and send seismic waves underground for testing related to the Bayou Corne area sinkhole, parish officials said Sunday. John Boudreaux, director of the parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, said each closure will last about 15 minutes, traffic will then be allowed to pass briefly and vibration will resume. Closures will extend from La. 69 near Grand Bayou, west to Lee Drive, Boudreaux said. [ link to theadvocate.com]  I'm bumping this artical again and adding this bit of quote from it. The seismic waves created by the truck, and later this week by charges buried in more remote areas around the sinkhole, will reveal the subsurface under the area, scientists have said. The gas in the area must be safer then we think or they wouldn't even think of setting off charges, mind you I suppose there is no oxygen underground to mix with the methane.
