Work begins today to remediate a sinkhole on the west side of 16th Street between Farnam and Harney streets. The project will last through November. The sinkhole opened last January when a garbage truck fell into an underground void while turning into an alley. Remediating the sinkhole is more complicated than simply filling it. An exposed building foundation needs to be shored up, a sewer must be repaired, and Omaha Public Power District needs to fix a duct line.
