BETHLEHEM TWP., Pa Late last evening a lane was restricted on US 22 West between the PA 33 and PA 191 exits in Bethlehem Township, Northampton County due to a sinkhole.
A contractor was mobilized to fill the sinkhole with concrete, according to PennDOT.
PennDOT said the contractor filled the hole with concrete and covered the patch with a heated blanket to accelerate the curing.
It is anticipated US 22 West will remain a single lane in this area until another 3-4 hours.
The sinkhole was partially in the shoulder and partially in the right lane.
It was approximately 7 feet wide at the widest point, and 9 feet deep at the deepest point, according to PennDOT.
Motorists are advised to use caution traveling through the area.
