Please be aware that an additional sinkhole has opened up at the Hollo Road Box Culvert at the Schoeneck Creek crossing in Palmer Township. The sinkhole is located between Prologis Parkway and Van Buren Road.

Effective today, Hollo Road on the Palmer side of the Schoeneck Creek will be closed just west of the Carbel warehouse driveway. On the Lower Nazareth side of the Schoeneck Creek traffic will be restricted east of Prologis Parkway. Only traffic to the Lulu's warehouse will be allowed through.

At this point, until the sinkhole is opened up and investigated, we do not know how long the road closure will remain in effect.
