A highway has reopened after a sinkhole closed down some of the road back in April. Illinois Route 185 reopened earlier this week with one lane of highway open to through traffic with stoplights to control traffic.  

The road is estimated to be about 600 feet from the sinkhole.  The Illinois Department of Transportation inspected the road before it officially opened to traffic. The road, which is between Hillsboro and Coffeen, has been closed since the sinkhole was opened up on Thursday, April 11th.
