Midland Park NJ, Midland Park Police, Ridgewood Police, and Wyckoff Police officers were dispatched to provide traffic control duties while construction crews worked to repair a potentially dangerous sinkhole on Lake Avenue in Midland Park that was identified on Thursday afternoon, 07/27. A crew performing a closed circuit television inspection on a sewer trunk line belonging to the Northwest Bergen Utilities Authority discovered a defect and immediately recommended that the roadway be closed. A repair crew supervisor told Ridgewood PD that work could take as long as 24 hours to complete. Lake Avenue is closed to motor vehicle traffic between Godwin Avenue in Ridgewood to Goffle Road in Wyckoff. A nearby lumber yard and supermarket located on Lake Avenue both remain accessible via alternate routes.
