Emergency repairs for a sinkhole that was discovered in May are going to cause some traffic troubles in Edgewater for the rest of December.
The emergency road work will begin on Thursday on MD 214 (Central Avenue) at MD 468 (Muddy Creek Road) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. until the end of the month.
Temporary repairs were made to the sinkhole after it was identified months ago, but a special design is required for this repair because of the depth of the pipe, the location of the work, and the environmental considerations.
Officials say around 27,000 cars pass over this section of MD 214 each day, so drivers are encouraged to add additional time to their commute during the repair work.
