Crews from the Missouri Department of Transportation will close a portion of Highway 5 on Wednesday between New Franklin and Fayette to replace a culvert, according to a Tuesday press release.
A stretch of highway between County Roads 426 and 320 will be closed from 8 a.m.-4 p.m.
The work is related to a sinkhole that formed on Sunday, according to MoDOT spokeswoman Marcia Johnson. She said the hole formed after a culvert broke.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol had warned travelers of the sinkhole in the roadway on Sunday afternoon.
