Utilities mostly back, traffic still disrupted after sinkhole opens up in Sunset Park
A day after a massive sinkhole swallowed up the majority of the intersection of 64th Street and Fifth Avenue, things are distinctly not back to normal there.
Traffic access to the intersection is prohibited, with vehicles diverted to adjacent streets, as city agencies work to repair the damage caused when the roadway opened up on Tuesday, August 4, just after 7 a.m.
Cops, firefighters and a number of city agencies were on at the corner for the better part of the day Tuesday. The Office of Emergency Management and the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) were on scene shortly after first responders.
