Council update on Kidderminster sinkhole repair as road remains closed
Council teams are working to establish the cause and repair the sinkhole.
A statement has been released by a council about a sinkhole which appeared in the middle of a road in Kidderminster.
Worcestershire County Council put out the statement about the sinkhole, which was spotted on Sutton Road on Wednesday evening (July 15) and which saw the road closed off to traffic between Holman Street and Greatfield Road.
Road teams could been seen setting up a barricade around the large sinkhole on Wednesday evening, with Worcestershire Council saying that it was working to establish the cause and then conduct a repair.
A spokeswoman for Worcestershire County Council said: “Worcestershire County Council was made aware of this issue on Wednesday evening, July 15.
“As a result the road has been closed to traffic whilst we work with utility companies to establish the cause of the void.
“A repair will be carried out as soon as is practically possible.”
