‘Large’ sinkhole disrupts traffic in West End Winnipeg

Another sinkhole is disrupting traffic in Winnipeg.

Less than a week after a “massive” sinkhole closed a roadway in north Winnipeg, police are warning about new void that’s opened up in the West End.

In a tweet Tuesday morning police said barricades were up on the inside lanes of St. Matthews Avenue at Spruce Street due to a “large” sinkhole.

Police said curb lanes are still accessible, but advised drivers to avoid the area if possible.

There’s no word on what caused the sinkhole or when it might be fixed.
