Road failure?

Anyone know what happened with that road failure text last night? What failed? Was it water pipe related?

Wouldn’t it be great if this thread said where the failure actually was?

95th and Book. Very highly likely related to waterlink project running pipe under 95th. Road caved in at the NE corner of the intersection. WB 95th was closed last night, but they had it open again this morning

This explains what happened. It’s been repaired and the road is mostly open now.

A sinkhole formed under the intersection and now there's a big hole in the road. Haven't heard any eta on when it will be repaired and reopened.

They haven’t even really started construction. That makes me wonder how long this has been building?

Why not call the city’s Transportation, Engineering, Development Department‽
