Major Sinkhole On Arapahoe Road Is Fixed

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (CBS4)- Arapahoe Road between University and Race officially reopened Saturday evening.  Denver Water crews had been repairing a water main break that caused a major sinkhole. The sinkhole opened up on Thursday.

The road caved in after a 12-inch water main broke just after noon on Thursday.

The underground water main break, just west of Vine Street, sent a flood of water gushing onto the properties of nearby businesses.

The water supply was shut off for several hours to residents in 136 units, as well as to surrounding businesses.
