Repairs to a sinkhole on North Avenue in Midtown Atlanta have been completed, according to the city’s Department of Watershed Management.
Officials said repairs to the sinkhole and a damaged sewer line were finished shortly before 10 p.m. Wednesday.
This came after additional excavation work was done Tuesday night to determine the extent of the damage, including a “collapsed sewer line” that caused the sinkhole, the agency said. At least one car was wrecked Tuesday morning after hitting the spot.

The hole, at least 3 feet deep and 2 feet wide, opened in the asphalt near the entrance to Coca-Cola headquarters and about 50 yards from the intersection with Luckie Street.
Traffic was temporarily disrupted, but all roads had been reopened by Wednesday evening.
