Just drove down Hillsborough to see the current situation.

- Road is completely open (though there is a barricade in the golf cart lane to avoid)
- The depression/sinkhole was NOT in the picture in the paper
- The repair is at a manhole at the intersection of Druid and Hillsborough
- The repair appears to be a section maybe 2' square with one corner against the manhole (not completely around the manhole)
- I didn't look closely to see if it was marked as sewer or drainage, not that it really matters

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
