Large sinkhole at Fondren Road and Woodway Drive intersection cause road closures

Published July 7, 2023 4:54pm CDT

HOUSTON - A road collapsed at the intersection of Fondren and Woodway on Friday afternoon, possibly caused by a 24-inch wastewater line.

The collapse caused a sinkhole to open up in the middle of the road, and traffic was diverted to surrounding streets.

Both lanes of Fondren will remain closed near the work area until repairs are completed.

At this time, customers are not experiencing interruptions in drinking water and wastewater services.

There were no injuries reported in the collapse.
