Hi Circle West in Horseshoe Bay is reopening to traffic Sept. 2 after emergency repairs to a sinkhole that formed in the roadway over the summer.

The city’s public works department shared that the road will remain open while crews complete finishing touches on the project.

The sinkhole, estimated at about 30 feet by 50 feet, formed after flooding damaged older infrastructure beneath the road and weakened the road base.

The city approved $600,000 in emergency repairs during the July 21 council meeting to rebuild the damaged section of road and improve the drainage system underneath it.

Engineers determined the drainage system needed additional capacity to better handle water flow and protect the roadway. The project also includes concrete reinforcement around drainage areas to help reduce erosion and prevent future damage.
