Large overnight sinkhole closes road in Maitland

Crews are working to make repairs after a sinkhole opened up on Wymore Road.

MAITLAND, Fla. — Crews in Maitland are working to repair a section of road after a large sinkhole opened overnight.

A section of Wymore Road south of Brightwater is closed due to a roadway collapse from the sinkhole.

The roughly 20-foot-wide sinkhole formed underneath both lanes of the roadway.

The Orange County-maintained road is located just east of Interstate 4 and north of Maitland Boulevard.

The City of Maitland is working with Orange County to cordon off the area and establish a detour.

No structures have been impacted by the sinkhole, which does not appear to be growing at this time.

Motorists and residents are advised to avoid the area until further notice.

Drivers should follow all marked detours once they are established.
