After 20 months of disruption due to the formation of a massive sinkhole, Rheem Boulevard is scheduled to reopen in mid-November. The section of corroded metallic culvert that failed has been replaced by reinforced concrete where Laguna Creek will now be able to flow.
While the repair itself will be finished by the end of October, the town will take the opportunity to repave a part of Rheem Boulevard and include that in the overall cost of the repair, which will be reimbursed at about 85 percent.
Residents and merchants that were impacted by the traffic disturbances will be invited to celebrate the end of the disruption, partly caused by the weather and partly by the administrative obstacle course that impeded the town process to secure reimbursement of the work. Town staff will be there to celebrate the reopening as well, weather permitting.
