West Hollywood sinkhole repair enters final phase with late-week reopening expected

Summary by The Los Angeles Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by FOX 11 Digital Team, FOX 11 Los Angeles (KTTV) · July 22, 2026 · 1 min read

LADWP crews make steady progress repairing the Sunset Boulevard sinkhole, with pipe disinfection and repaving underway ahead of a planned reopening this week.

Why this matters in The Los Angeles

The expected reopening of Sunset Boulevard by the end of the week will come as a relief to local businesses and residents who have had to navigate the disruption caused by the water main break. The closure has not only affected traffic flow but also impacted the daily operations of establishments along the iconic street, which is a major hub for entertainment and nightlife in the Greater Los Angeles area. As the concrete slurry cures and the sinkhole is repaired, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power's efforts to restore normalcy to the area will be closely watched by the community. The successful completion of the repair work will be crucial in minimizing the economic impact on West Hollywood's vibrant commercial sector, which relies heavily on the street's accessibility and appeal to tourists and locals alike.
