Howell Mill Road sinkhole should be repaired by Friday
Crews will continue repairs on the heavily used westside roadway through the remainder of the week, but the plan is to shift to two-way travel to two lanes during construction, although there may be intermittent full lane closure for equipment adjustment.
More than a week after a 5-to-6-inch sinkhole appeared on Howell Mill Road near the Westside Provisions District, city crews continue to make repairs to the road while motorists who regularly use the heavily traveled roadway seek alternate routes to reach area destinations. But there does appear to be an end in sight as a spokesperson with the Department of Public Works told Patch Tuesday night that crews expect to be finished with repairs by Friday. But in the meantime, expect more delays in the area between 14th Street and Huff Road due to the sinking ground that first appeared on a bridge on Tuesday, Nov. 20. The stretch of roadway was closed to all traffic for about 24 hours when the issue was first discovered last week. A temporary …

Back to McDonald, I do not think a drive though should be allowed … more ›
