UPDATE: Madison Street has reopened after repairs were completed Tuesday, after a road collapse caused by a water leak.
According to a release from the Village of East Rochester, crews had been working over the previous four days, since the water leak and sinkhole were reported Friday, to repair the road and reopen the street between East Elm Street and East Avenue.
EAST ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Madison Street near Edmund Lyon Park is expected to reopen by Wednesday morning at the latest.
A large sinkhole caused by a water leak was reported on the street Friday afternoon.
The town and village administrator says the sewer has been repaired in that area, but there’s still more work to do before the road is totally restored. Officials said the emergency repair should be completed and a temporary roadway put down Monday. Monroe County Water Authority has restored water service.
Four homes in the area are under a boil-water advisory from Monroe County.
