Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) say traffic delays are expected on Highway 400 for several days due to an 11-foot-deep sinkhole.
OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt shared an update on Tuesday, saying the sinkhole is located in the left southbound lane on Highway 400 lane approaching Line 5 near Bradford West Gwillimbury. A closure has been expanded to include the northbound lane of the highway.
Sgt. Schmidt said the sinkhole is along the median strip just north of Line 5.
“You can see relatively new concrete walls here. This is the problem. It doesn’t look like much on the surface, but once you take a look inside… you can see a drain tile, and the hole goes down at least 11 feet. It looks deeper than that to me,” Sgt. Schmidt said.
“That hole is comprising both northbound and southbound lanes. The [Ministry of Transportation] has the left lane blocked here right now.”
Sgt. Schmidt urged drivers to avoid the area if possible due to heavy delays.
