Repair work resulting from a sewer line collapse may need to continue, causing 106th Street to remain closed east of Allisonville Road through the first week of February.  That’s the word from Fishers Assistant Director of Public Works Rick Farnham speaking before the City Board of Public Works and Safety Monday.

Farnham now says the repairs could cost as much as $175,000.

The sewer collapsed on December 27th and created a sinkhole.  It has wreaked havoc on the sewage lift station in the area of 106th Street and Allisonville Road, and decimated a section of sidewalk in the area.  It also resulted in limited traffic flow, with the eventual closing of 106th Street east of Allisonville Road.
