A large sinkhole has closed a section of road near Don Mills Road just south of Highway 401 in North York.
City crews are repairing the roadway after the sinkhole developed earlier this week at Duncan Mill Road and Valleybrook Drive.
Sporadic temperatures in Southern Ontario caused a watermain to burst that led to a massive sinkhole on Yonge St. and York Mills last week.
