That sinkhole formed on Alpine Street, just off East Myers Boulevard.
The city first notified residents of the issue on April 11.
City officials now say they hope to reopen the street by mid-May.
But they added, depending on the amount of grout that is needed to fill holes, work could last until month’s end.
Once that grout sets, the road will undergo resurfacing.
