The sinkhole stopped traffic on Locust St., between Kenwood and Woodland Ave. Author: Shelby Kluver (WQAD) Updated: 8:12 AM CDT July 1, 2021
The sinkhole was first reported on Saturday morning, and after an investigation, crews now say four broken sewer laterals and two lead water service lines have been discovered.
Davenport says they ve already investigated about a third of the area, but will still need to work through the other sections in phases, making repairs as needed. Water flowing from the broken lines has made the investigation difficult, according to the city s press release. The traveling public will need to be patient. Detours are likely to be in place through early to mid-July, read the city s statement.

(Davenport, IA) The city of Davenport is looking for public input about flood mitigation efforts to make Davenport more resilient to floods.
Residents, businesses, students, and visitors can participate by watching a video presentation on a range of modifications to protect the city, and then take an online survey. Options presented range from baseline modifications, like adding pump stations or raising roads that would improve the city’s overall resilience and efficiency when the Mississippi River is three feet above flood stage in the Quad Cities, which is 18 feet. Other options, like berms or flood walls, could protect all the way up to 24 feet, which exceeds the record high.
Pothole Work Already Being Done In Quad Cities
There s always a running joke about how long road work takes in the Midwest, thankfully work is already getting done when it comes to roads and potholes here in the Quad Cities. Thanks to all this gnarly weather, potholes are going to be awful this year, and it s up to road workers to put a stop to them fast.
Luckily it looks like men and women are already hard at work here in the QC.
Earlier this week we learned that you could report pothole in Davenport, and that may be why we are seeing work already being done.
