Traffic in one part of Nitro is moving smoother a day after a massive sinkhole caused traffic to be redirected.
Crews finished repairing a sinkhole that shut down part of the roadway Tuesday.
One lane of Route 25 in front of the Twin City Bible Church was closed after a water main break caused the road there to collapse.
The closure caused even more of a headache than usual because that road is one of the detours drivers have to take to get around the now closed Saint Albans-Nitro bridge.
The bridge is expected to be closed until November, for repairs.
