A portion of Yonge Street in Rosedale will remain closed until Thursday morning due to a sinkhole.
Toronto police said on Tuesday the sinkhole was filled with water and the roadway between Roxborough Street and Crescent Road had to be shut down.
City officials said the sinkhole, which is around one metre wide and a foot and a half deep, was caused by a crack in a sewer and more inspections were conducted on Wednesday.
“The City attended the site yesterday to make the area safe and initiate investigation and repairs. The City has set-up a bypass for the sewer and is continuing the installation of the shaft required to conduct further investigations and ultimately repair the sewer,” a City of Toronto spokesperson said in a statement.
“We anticipate that investigation will be completed and a plan for the repair work will be prepared by end of day Friday. Work will be conducted 24 hours a day, seven days a week for the duration of the investigation and repairs.”
City staff said contractors are aiming to re-open one lane in each direction.
