How are the buried rivers maintained? Do they regularly send cameras down there to inspect the tunnels?
Yukirin-
No idea I'm afraid. The Fillebrook bubbled up recently pretty spectacularly at Whoops Cross and loads of other roads that are built over it.
There is a section near me where you can always hear rushing water (Newport Rd E10 if anyone wants to hear it) but on the evening of the floods, when I passed the normally noisy manhole, it was totally silent. /csb

Building works are continuing at a decent pace on Oliver Rd in Leyton, on top of the covered Fillybrook river.
There will be a few high storey blocks of flats. Oh well
