City officials have roped off an area at the intersection of Browder Street and Highway 182 after a sinkhole formed in the road Tuesday afternoon.
The hole, which measures about eight feet, was caused by recent rains, according to a post on the City of Columbus, MS – Mayor’s Office Facebook page.
Construction crews began working to repair the sinkhole this morning and are expected to finish sometime Thursday, the post said.
Until then, the south side of the intersection is closed to traffic, and officials are asking drivers to find an alternate route until the repairs are complete.
