Traffic on Interstate 24 was snarled most all day Friday, July 26, as TDOT crews worked to repair a sinkhole that opened up and closed a westbound lane near mile marker 90. That's just one-mile past the Buchanan Road exit going toward Manchester.

According to Kathryn Schulte with TDOT, crews finished excavating the sinkhole at about 1:00 o'clock Friday afternoon, and crews had to go approximately 11 feet deep, 15 feet long and 13 feet wide to get the hole excavated.

Crews worked to correct the sinkhole and repair the road with a patch. I-24, near the Buchanan Road exit, reopened around 8:00 o'clock Friday (7/26/2019) night.
