KING OF PRUSSIA, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- All lanes of Route 29 in East Whiteland Township, Chester County reopened Friday following sinkhole and pipe repair.

On Monday, Route 29 (Morehall Road) was reduced to a single lane in each direction, following the discovery of pipe damage and pavement settlement before being fully closed in both directions for repair operations.

It was one of two areas recently impacted by sinkholes.

Drivers in King of Prussia got the good news on Wednesday night as all lanes of Route 202 reopened.

Rt. 202 (Dekalb Pike) was completely shut down one week ago due to a sinkhole.

On Wednesday afternoon, PennDOT announced that the right lane on the southbound side of the roadway was reopened between Saulin Boulevard and Henderson Road.

At one point last Friday, all lanes in both directions were shut down after a second sinkhole opened up.
