Crews Hustle To Fix Busy Street

An open joint in a sewer pipe is to blame for the formation of a huge sinkhole in Jefferson Parish.

The opening in the ground formed on Friday, when the dirt beneath the asphalt shifted and left a void beneath the surface of the street near the intersection of Clearview Parkway and West Napoleon.

Crews spent the afternoon filling in the giant hole and traffic was expected to return to normal by Friday evening.
