Mayor Joe Wellman has announced that State Street from N.E. 15th Street east to N.E. 21st Street will be closed until further notice. This closing is due to a sink hole cause by a mine shaft (slope) just east of the 15th Street and State Street intersection. The Bureau of Mines is was notified and came today to assess the situation and surrounding area. They will return on Tuesday, January 5th to begin their work. At this time we are not sure when the street will reopen to traffic. Residents living in that area will be able to travel to and from their homes as well as patients visiting Cullen Medical. We ask that you avoid that area if at all possible. If you have any questions please contact the Mayor’s office at 812-254-5575.
