Morena sinkhole finally (mostly) fixed

The roads are mostly back open around Morena Boulevard and Linda Vista Road after a massive sinkhole disrupted traffic in the area for several days.

Why it matters: The sinkhole shut down the busy intersection, closed the road and cut off water and gas service that impacted local businesses.

Catch up quick: An underground water pipe broke, causing the street to cave in last Wednesday.

• City crews repaired the damaged pipes last week, but couldn't refill the trench and restore water service until SDG&E and AT&T completed their work, the city announced Friday.
• The city expected roads to reopen Saturday, but that was pushed to Tuesday evening.

Zoom in: Three of the four Morena Boulevard lanes have reopened, and Sherman Street will remain closed until Wednesday evening, per the city.

• But drivers should still try to avoid the area until the repairs are complete.
