Streets around a 10-foot sinkhole at the intersection of Mission Road and Marguerita Avenue in Alhambra remained closed Tuesday as crews worked to handle the problem.
The sinkhole — about 10 feet in diameter and six inches deep — was reported about 3 p.m. Monday, said Sgt. Jerry Johnson of the Alhambra Police Department. Its cause has not been determined.
Traffic was diverted while public works staff inspected the street and the Marguerita Avenue Bridge above the Union Pacific railroad tracks.
“All northbound and southbound traffic over the Marguerita … bridge has been shut down while crews continue their assessment,” Johnson said late this morning. “Eastbound lanes are closed on Mission Road from Marengo Avenue to Marguerita Avenue.”
Southbound Marguerita Avenue from Commonwealth Avenue to Mission Road will be open for residents only. And southbound traffic on Electric Lane will be directed west on Mission Road.
