Sinkhole shuts down part of West 7th Street for up to two months
A sinkhole that appeared Thursday night on West Seventh Street near downtown St. Paul has shut down the road for at least two months, city officials said.
The stretch of West Seventh from Kellogg Boulevard to Grand Avenue will be open for local business access only.
The sidewalks will remain open for pedestrians, city officials said Friday.
Motorists should plan to take alternate routes and follow detours, city officials said.
St. Paul Public Works and St. Paul Regional Water Services crews are assessing the cause of the sinkhole and beginning necessary cleanup and repairs, which may take up to two months.
