A sinkhole that suddenly emerged on a northwest Calgary street has caused road closures in the community of Crescent Heights.
The sinkhole opened up on Crescent Road N.W. and 4 Street N.W. late Wednesday evening as a driver passed over top.
The intersection of Crescent Road and 4 Street N.W. remained cordoned off on Thursday morning.
It’s unknown what caused the sinkhole, which is over a metre deep and over a metre wide, but often they are created by water main breaks under the road.
