Sinkhole opens in middle of South Jordan road, closing traffic

Posted at 2:03 PM, Aug 04, 2023

SOUTH JORDAN, Utah — A 10-foot-wide sinkhole that opened up in the middle of a South Jordan road Friday was likely caused by this week's heavy rains.

The sinkhole is located where a storm drain is buried at 10600 South near 400 West. During the storms, the drain ruptured, which caused the 8-foot deep sinkhole.

Police are blocking off all eastbound lanes, and a contractor is heading out to look at what will be needed to repair the damage to the drain.

It's not known how long repairs will take before the road is reopened.
