SINK HOLE DEVELOPS ON BURLESON STREET

  

A sink hole developed Tuesday afternoon on Burleson Street where is goes over Higgins Branch.  The City of Brenham Street Department has closed Burleson Street between MLK and Pleasantview Street.  The sink hole appeared when a portion of the concrete culvert under the road collapsed.  Recent rain from Hurricane Harvey along with the flooding from May of 2016 is believed to have contributed to the failure.  Engineers will be assessing the damage today.  That portion of Burleson Street will remain closed until permanent repairs can be made.
