West Midlands road reopens after 'complex' sinkhole repair
The sinkhole has been fixed after appearing in July.
A road in Kidderminster has reopened after work was undertaken to repair a sinkhole.
Sutton Road has been reopened after a near eight-week closure due to a sinkhole that was caused by a collapsed sewer.
Severn Trent confirmed that the 'complex repair' of the sinkhole has been completed and thanked residents for their patience.
A Severn Trent spokesperson said: “We’d like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding as our teams completed emergency sewer repairs on Sutton Road.
“This was a complex repair, but the sewer pipe is fixed, and road is back open again.
“We will be returning with a road sweeper to make sure everywhere is tidy and fully back to normal.”
The sinkhole appeared on July 15 and led to the road being initially closed by Worcestershire County Council after it was made aware of the 'void'.
