The sinkhole is causing traffic on the Turnpike to go down from 2 lanes to 1 somewhere south of 470, I believe just north of the SR19 interchange. There's not really a viable detour other than taking 470 east to go through Yalaha and Apopka since that's an extra 25 mins which is around how long you're likely to be delayed at worst. So pretty much unavoidable as things stand now.
