A team comprising the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Laguna Madre Water District, and City of South Padre Island officials worked quickly to repair the sinkhole and restore road safety.

Authorities confirmed that the broken drain pipe was the primary cause of the sinkhole, prompting urgent repairs to prevent further structural damage to the roadway.
