Contractors repairing Lambert’s Cove Road at Smith Brook in Tisbury have discovered another sinkhole under the roadway, which has been closed to traffic since Dec. 15.
Washed out, repaired, reopened and closed once more over a four-day period last week, the Vineyard Haven end of Lambert’s Cove Road will remain blocked off through the end of the year.
Lambert’s Cove Road on the Vineyard Haven end has been closed until further notice, Tisbury town officials said Friday. Heavy rain is in the forecast for Saturday, and the road has already suffered a washout.
Lambert’s Cove Road in Vineyard Haven reopened Wednesday morning after a daylong closure Tuesday from a washout in heavy rains. The road reopened Wednesday shortly before 11 a.m.
