Emergency crews are dealing with a sinkhole problem on Farmington Avenue in West Hartford.
At 9 a.m., the Metropolitan District and West Hartford Public Works crews responded to Farmington Avenue, near LaSalle Road, for the sinkhole issue.
A statement from town officials said the work will require lane closures, but the road will remain open.
A police officer who was on patrol on Nov. 25, 2014 noticed the sinkhole and 25-foot wide distress cracks near the crosswalk on LaSalle Road and the Metropolitan District, the West Hartford-Bloomfield Health District, the Department of Public Works and Town Engineer were alerted.
The hole was patched and a more permanent correction was slated for this spring.
The MDC has determined that major road reconstruction is required to fix the problem, which is scheduled the work in June 2015.
