Are you kidding?  A huge hole opened up in the King of Prussia area a couple 
decades ago. They dumped 10 or 12 dump trucks of cement into it before they 
found it coming out in a quarry a few miles away.  So they said "Screw it" 
and rebuilt 276 in a big curve around the hole.

That lake wasn't always there.
