A sinkhole that opened Sunday evening in far north Colorado Springs damaged a roadway and caused traffic delays, the Colorado Springs Police Department said.
Police helped shut down North Union Boulevard between Alberta Falls Way and Tochal Drive roughly two miles southeast of Pine Creek High School about 6 p.m. Sunday after the small sinkhole grew and soon swallowed much of the intersection, police said.
Colorado Springs Utilities responded to the sinkhole to assess if there was a water main leak or stormwater main break, but no leak was found, Jennifer Kemp, a spokeswoman with the agency, said Monday.
A private developer, La Plata Communities, who owns the road, took over the investigation and repairs of the sinkhole Monday.
Heavy machinery dug into the ground to repair a sinkhole that opened Sunday evening at an intersection in a residential community near Briargate.
North Union Boulevard between Alberta Falls and Tochal Drive remained closed Tuesday while crews repaired the road. Residents in Bradley Ranch, a community off Tochal Road, still had access to their neighborhood but residents off Sky Pond Lane said the closure added several minutes to their commute time.
The private owner of the road, La Plata Communities, continued to investigate the cause of the sinkhole after Colorado Springs Utilities ruled out water and sewage pipes as the source of the issue.
