Another Atlanta traffic disruption has been repaired.

City officials said Wednesday that 5th Street has reopened at Cypress Street after a sinkhole was paved over.

“Repairs completed and road is fully open and operational,” City of Atlanta Public Works officials told Channel 2 Action News.

The sinkhole appeared in Midtown on April 19, and officials still are not sure what caused it.

The sinkhole was among several major traffic impediments in metro Atlanta in recent weeks. There was the fiery I-85 bridge collapse, the chemical spill by a tractor-trailer on the Downtown Connector and the buckling of I-20 in DeKalb County.
