A sinkhole will keep a Nottinghamshire road closed for 'some time' as debris is cleared from a damaged sewer. A small hole on Carlton Road, Worksop, was spotted at around 7.45am on Saturday, May 6, but by the evening it had grown larger and reached close to the pavement from the centre of the road.
Severn Trent later confirmed the hole had been created by a damaged sewer. Nottinghamshire County Council has said clearing debris from the sewer may take some time, advising drivers to avoid the area while works continue.
Nottinghamshire County Council said: "Our partners @stwater have confirmed that the road collapse was due to a damaged sewer. They are currently clearing debris out of the sewer which may take some time. The road closure will remain in place whilst the works are underway, so please continue to avoid the area."
