The Connecticut Airport Authority has confirmed that a sinkhole formed at the perimeter of Bradley International Airport in December. In a statement provided to CT Insider, CAA spokesperson Brian Spyros said that the sinkhole had been “temporarily filled and stabilized.” According to agency officials, the sinkhole formed around Dec. 4. The 20-by-20 foot sinkhole grew to a depth of 35 feet, large enough to swallow a car or small truck. The sinkhole was caused by a failed underground storm pipe, agency officials said. The CAA had increased Bradley International’s capital improvement funds by up to $10 million while the agency looks into alternate sources of funding. The CAA will look for federal and other funding sources to cover repair costs. In September, the Windsor Locks airport got approval for $99.27 million in federal funds for construction projects. Of that, $76.14 million was for a new inline baggage screening building, $17.96 million for a vertical circulation project and $278,643 for a taxiway extension project.
