Nevada Street temporary closure.
Reopened at 3:40pm with localized coned off area in the street.
After evaluation and video analysis no sinkhole conditions found. The cause was found to be shallow surface drainage underneath the asphalt causing structural pavement damages. The large volume of storm water drainage undermined sections of private property and went underground and under the street. Curbing of the drainage at 2 locations and filling and patching the asphalt will be done over the coming weeks.
