Sinkhole in Madre Street Disrupts Southland Freeway Amid Heavy Rain, 3 Lanes Closed
MADRE STREET, CA (February 21, 2024) — An unexpected sinkhole emerged on a bustling Southland freeway, causing significant disruption during the early hours of Wednesday morning.
The cavity was reported before 4:30 a.m. in a central lane at Madre Street, just as a downpour complicated the commute for many.
Authorities swiftly issued a SigAlert, closing three westbound lanes to prevent further incidents. This precautionary measure was anticipated to exacerbate the already challenging conditions brought on by the inclement weather.
Initially set for one hour, the SigAlert’s duration was expected to conclude around 5:30 a.m., pending further evaluation of the situation and necessary repairs. Commuters are advised to stay informed on this developing story and consider alternative routes.
