He thinks that a brick may have been dislodged, creating a hole in the sewer itself, which then led to the collapse. <\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">No one was hurt, but Summerfield said this could take roughly two weeks to repair.<\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">&#8220;We&#8217;ve got about a 60-foot section that we need to excavate to remove what&#8217;s collapsed. So we have a decent-sized section of collapsed pipe,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">News 12&#8217;s Katerina Belales was at the scene Thursday morning.<\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">The Yonkers Police Department says all northbound lanes on Nepperhan Avenue are closed between Axminster Street and Myrtle Street while crews make repairs. One southbound lane remains open to traffic.<\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">Drivers are being urged to avoid the area if possible and expect delays. Police say Sawmill River Road and North Broadway can be used as alternate routes.<\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">Officials have not said how long repairs are expected to take.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Part of a major roadway in Yonkers is closed after a section of pavement collapsed.
