Roswell’s Roxburgh Drive reopens after collapse

A portion of a Roswell street that collapsed Tuesday due to an underground water leak has been reopened, officials said Wednesday.

City spokeswoman Julie Brechbill said crews are expected to finish paving the damaged portion of Roxburgh Drive by Thursday morning.

The road, a Country Club of Roswell thoroughfare that was closed for repairs Tuesday, imploded after a distracted teenage driver hit a fire hydrant nearby, police said.

According to Channel 2 Action News, drinking water was not affected by the incident, which created a sinkhole in the middle of the street.
