Work Nearly Finished on Harbor Blvd. Hole
Emergency repairs to a sinkhole on Harbor Boulevard at Wilson Street are nearly complete.
During rainstorms on Dec. 6, a 27-by-85-foot hole developed under the left-turn lane at the intersection. The hole caused the closure of the turn lane and one other lane.
City Manager Allan L. Roeder ordered the repairs Dec. 26 and hired a Long Beach company. Crews pumped more than 10 cubic yards of sand and cement into the hole to fill it.
On Monday, the City Council approved $33,000 for the project.
Repairs are complete except for resurfacing, said Bill Morris, director of public services. The turn lane has reopened, but the one next to it will be closed until Thursday.
