Sinkhole on Delaware Halts Traffic

Repairs likely to be completed Thursday.

Public works crews have closed a section of 25th Avenue between Delaware Street and El Camino Real to through traffic as they work to bridge a sinkhole on Delaware.

The gap emerged yesterday afternoon in front of the San Mateo County Event Center.

"What happened is, a sewer line got damaged some years back, and has been slowly washing away" the surface, he said.

Those needing to turn onto 25th Avenue from El Camino Real are advised to use Saratoga Drive instead.
