Description
Northbound State Route 529 in Everett reopened Tuesday afternoon near East Marine View Drive after a hole formed from "an individual tunneling underneath," according to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT).
WSDOT first announced the northbound lanes of SR 529 at East Marine View Drive were fully closed for emergency maintenance just before 9 a.m. Tuesday. It reopened just before 3 p.m.
A description on one of the images posted on X by WSDOT says the hole was approximately 12 by 12 inches.
A WSDOT spokesperson told KING 5 a hole three feet wide and four feet deep was found below the surface of the roadway. They said there was debris that indicated a person had been in the hole.
