A broken water main has created a large sinkhole in Hamilton’s Durand neighbourhood.
A large chunk of the sidewalk on Markland St. between Caroline St. South and Bruce St. broke off early Monday.
Hamilton police went door-to-door asking residents to move their vehicles from the roadway as a precaution.
Great effort by @HamiltonPolice by going door to door to try and get vehicles moved off of Markland Street & surrounding area! Community saftey first while still trying to preserve property. Well done folks. 😁 @cityofhamilton #hamilton #hamont pic.twitter.com/Jnq3D4CC6D

Police say the road is open and pylons have been put up to block off the affected area.
The city of Hamilton says a crew will be deployed to repair the sinkhole later Monday.
