Sinkhole Closes Route 19 Sinkhole Closes Route 19
Sinkhole Closes Route 19 A large sinkhole closed the southbound lanes of Route 19 at the Paterson/Clifton border Wednesday night. How long before the highway is reopened was anyone's guess.  Responders said it could take hours or even days depending on the condition of a huge drainage pipe beneath the roadway.  The hole began to open around 4 p.m., forcing a single lane closure. It widened until eventually all three lanes were compromised, responders said.
