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.
