I got the notice from the Sun and was surprised to see it called a sinkhole. Must of had a former journalist staffing the breaking news desk.

I believe this one was called a sinkhole because it indeed is a sinkhole.

The last hole that opened up was a depression caused by a leaking pipe, hence the term sinkhole wasn't used, except in some other click bait headline attempts.

I hope this gets remedied soon. That's a heck of a busy roadway.

On 441/27. They were working on it last night. The side closest to Orange Blossom was down to one lane with a lot of idjits trying to merge at the last possible second, so do be careful there.

It's in the northbound lane of 441 before the golf cart bridge and right at the intersection with Main Street. Haven't been over there yet today, but the left turn lane and left lane were closed last night.

The hole itself was quite small, but as we know, they tend to grow rapidly.

It was a small hole, like a pothole only deeper but you can see it is a bit bigger undef the paved surface. imagine, a sinkhole in florida

It is on 441/27 near the Main St turn. DS said it was best to avoid this area for a couple of days.
