Rice Road between South Broadway Avenue and Old Bullard Road in Tyler will be closed for asphalt repairs beginning Sunday to complete fixes after a sinkhole in December.
According to the city of Tyler, contractors will start working on Monday. The work will replace the temporary asphalt repair that was used when Tyler Water Utilities responded to a sinkhole at the intersection of Old Bullard and Rice Roads.
Crews completed extensive work inside the sinkhole and on Old Bullard Road to replace sewer lines, a manhole and other infrastructure before opening the intersection to traffic, the city of Tyler statement read.
Repairs should be complete by the end of the week, depending on weather and ground conditions. Drivers are asked to go slowly in the area and follow the detours and traffic signs.
