Reason for Closure
On June 3, City crews repairing and resurfacing the street discovered a sinkhole near SW Dosch Road and SW Newby Terrace. Crews stabilized the area and are now completing permanent repairs, including installation of a new stormwater maintenance hole. Additional inspections are underway to assess the condition of connecting stormwater pipes, and further repairs may be needed. As a result, the closure could remain in place longer than anticipated.
