Large sinkhole results in road closure
Article content
Heavy rain on the weekend washed out a part of Norfolk County Road 45.
The road in the North Walsingham area is closed between East Quarter Line Road and Forestry Farm Road.
“I hope to have an update by (Norfolk) council tomorrow. Staff are assessing the issue and coming up with a plan, and are currently fixing up a number of other ‘minor’ washouts,” Jason Godby, interim general manager of public works, said in an email.
Norfolk OPP, Hydro One and Norfolk County road department crews were at the scene on Saturday.
The county has posted on its website the following alternate routes:
- Westbound: North on Forestry Farm Road then West on 10th Concession Road and South on East Quarter Line Road
- Eastbound: North on East Quarter Line Road to East on 10th Concession and South on Forestry Farm Road.
