The New Hampshire Department of Transportation says part of Interstate 93 in Concord has reopened after crews spent most of the day filling a large sinkhole.
The northbound side of the highway was closed Wednesday afternoon between exits 13 and 14. Traffic was being diverted from exit 13. Drivers in the area were asked to seek alternative routes.
The sinkhole, which measures around 15 feet wide and 20 feet deep, was first discovered when drivers reported a dip in the highway around noon.Massive Sinkhole Opens up on I-93 in N.H."It's a pretty big surprise on the interstate because these are well-built highways," he said."Fortunately, I believe one of the three vehicles that were right there when it happened was a DOT vehicle and he was able to back up his truck and help shut down the traffic and close the road.
