It appears similar to the pavement buckle in southwest Detroit earlier this year along Fort Street, but it's not clear if the two incidents are related. The ground giving way at Fort and Dearborn in September 2021 resulted in the demolishment of a local business.

Dearborn Street was eventually pushed up approximately eight to ten feet. More than 50 homes are in the area.
