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.
