All lanes of 14th Street NW are expected to reopen late Friday afternoon, more than a week after a broken storm drain caused a sink hole to open in downtown D.C.
The northbound lanes of 14th Street reopened two days after the incident, but the southbound lanes remained closed as crews repaired 30 feet of sewer line and the broken storm drain.
As of 5:20 p.m. Friday, two lanes were open.
The sink hole opened May 21, when concrete underneath the intersection of 14th and F streets collapsed, breaking a 54-inch sewer line. A second sink hole later developed about 30 feet away.
Complicating the work, a number of utility lines and old trolley tracks were located above the broken sewer.
The sink hole has now been filled and paved over, reported News4 transportation reporter Adam Tuss.
