Route 202 reopens in King of Prussia after crews repair sinkhole

A portion of Route 202 (Dekalb Pike) reopened in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, Wednesday night after crews finished repairing a a massive sinkhole.

The sinkhole was discovered during a reported water outage in the area on Monday night. Rt. 202 was then closed in both directions between Henderson Road and Saulin Boulevard just after 8 p.m. that night.

Crews with Pennsylvania American Water spent the next two days repairing the water main, filling the sinkhole with aggregate and stones, wrapping the fill in a geotextile fabric to stabilize the ground and installing a subbase before paving with asphalt and line striping the highway, officials said.

Paving continues on Rt 202 in KOP. Road expected to reopen later this morning, following a water main break and sinkhole that formed Monday night. ⁦@NBCPhiladelphia⁩ pic.twitter.com/VqgPyIbT6X
