Sink hole on 3700 block NE 178th Street

On Friday, November 23rd due to high water flows in McAleer Creek, the roadway subsurface in the 3700 block of NE 178th Street washed away around a culvert pipe creating a sink hole. LFP City Engineer Neil Jensen is assessing the damage and is arranging for a repair.

In the meantime, Public Works crews have installed a steel traffic plate over the affected area. Asphalt cold patch was used to secure the plates in place and make for a smoother transition for traffic. Traffic signage has been installed to warn motorists of the bump in the road surface.
