HACIENDA HEIGHTS — A sink hole slowed holiday travels Saturday on the eastbound 60 Freeway in Hacienda Heights, officials said.

Officials reported a “very large sunken-in slab of cement” in the No. 3 lane just east of Hacienda Boulevard about just after 12:20 p.m., according to California Highway Patrol logs.

The affected lane was shut down, as well as the right-hand lane, were shut down for about half an hour as a temporary patch was put in place, CHP Officer Krystal Carter said.

Both lanes were reopened by 2:07 p.m., however they were again closed about 3:20 p.m. as Caltrans crews made permanent repairs to the roadway.

A Sig Alert was in effect for No. 3 and 4 lanes of the eastbound freeway, as well as the northbound Hacienda Boulevard onramp to the eastbound 60 Freeway, through 5:20 p.m., Carter said.
