BANGOR, Pa. – A sinkhole caused the closure of a road in Bangor, Northampton County.
The sinkhole opened up on Market Street (Route 512) between South 6th Street and South 7th Street, according to Borough Manager Stephen Reider.
The collapse left that stretch of roadway impassable, resulting in the closure while officials address the situation.

Reider said the borough is holding a pre-construction meeting Tuesday, and construction is expected to begin Wednesday. That meeting is part of the timeline officials outlined for starting the repair work.
He said the road could be closed through the end of next week.
