The famous bump on Highway 7 near Carleton Place has made a comeback, leaving drivers worried it might get bigger. ottnews

"You've got to go slow, and you just hope the guy behind you slows too,” says Reid. “I thought we only had the bump in the winter, but here it is. We had to slow down. Saw the sign the other day so I guess they didn't get it fixed.”

In a statement, the Ministry of Transportation acknowledged the situation, saying, "The Ministry of Transportation is aware that the bump that was repaired last summer has resurfaced and is monitoring this location. We have an ongoing investigation to determine the cause and a permanent repair solution."

"But for sure, I mean, it's dangerous. I've gone over myself, and you know, let's say my Jeep, for example, you could feel it wanting to wander all over the road after you hit the bump," he said. This situation has sparked discussions among drivers, who question the effectiveness of the previous repairs.
