The road reopened later than expected after a ‘complex’ issue appeared during the roadworks
A Cambridge road has reopened after a car-sized sinkhole formed on it. The sinkhole first appeared in Milton Road, Cambridge on July 10, with repairs beginning on July 14.
The sinkhole was described as the “size of a family car” at the time. Over the weeks it was repaired, Anglian Water came across a “complex” issue which delayed the reopening of the road.
However, the road officially reopened on Monday (August 3). A Cambridgeshire County Council spokesperson said: “The sinkhole repair works on Milton Road have now been completed, and the road is fully reopened to traffic.
“We’d like to thank everyone in the community for their patience and understanding while these essential repairs were carried out. Special thanks also go to our Highways team for their hard work and dedication in resolving this complex issue.”
