A sinkhole opened up in New Westminster Friday morning.

The sinkhole, which is the result of a water main break, is located on the New Westminster and Coquitlam border at the Braid and Brunette railway crossing.

The front left wheel of a white van fell into the sinkhole but it has now been removed.

Crews are on scene.

Traffic on Braid Street is completely blocked east of Brunette Avenue until about 5 p.m. The City of New Westminster said to expect delays in the area due to construction and train volume.
