Arapahoe Avenue In Boulder Reopens After Bus Caught In Sinkhole
BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4)- The portion of the road in Boulder where an RTD bus started sinking in a water-filled sinkhole on Wednesday reopened Thursday just after 7 p.m.
Earlier in the day, the Boulder Police Department tweeted that westbound Arapahoe Avenue between Conestoga and Commerce remained closed during paving operations.
The repaving of Westbound Arapahoe between Conestoga and Commerce is ALMOST complete and city utility crews are hoping to have at least two full lanes reopened to traffic around 5pm today. Thank you again for your patience #Boulder

Copter4 flew over the large hole on Thursday. A water main break is to blame for the sinkhole.
On Wednesday afternoon, the bus was slowly submerged in the sinkhole while six passengers on board were evacuated from the bus. The bus was towed out of the sinkhole and standing water.
Westbound Arapahoe between Conestoga and Commerce is still closed this morning until the paving is complete. We will tweet an update when it reopens. Thank you for your patience #Boulder
