GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The City of Grand Rapids says Market Avenue SW has reopened after a large sinkhole opened on the street Tuesday.
Work on the sinkhole began around 11 a.m. Tuesday, shutting down Market Avenue SW about 200 feet south of Godfrey Avenue SW. The only access in and and out the area was from the I-196 Market ramps.
Market Avenue SW reopened around 3 p.m. Wednesday.
City officials said the large storm sewer was compromised due to a utility contractor working in the ROW that damaged the storm sewer.
Crews worked to repair the compromised pipe and repave the road.
