Locals are advised to allow extra time for travel
A large sinkhole has been causing disruption to Cambridge traffic after appearing on Monday evening (June 22). Part of Milton Road has been closed to traffic as a result of the sinkhole.
A Cambridgeshire County Council spokesperson said: “Please be advised that Milton Road, Cambridge remains closed between Hurst Park Avenue and the Elizabeth Way roundabout in both directions today due to a large sinkhole.
“Highways staff have been on site today to investigate the cause of the sinkhole. The sink hole extends some way under the surrounding asphalt and due to the number of utilities under the road in this area we cannot simply fill in the hole. We are working with partner agencies to get the road repaired appropriately as quickly as possible.”
The spokesperson continued: “We’re sorry for the disruption caused by the road closure and urge people to plan their journeys and allow extra time to travel. We will reopen the road as soon as it is safe to do so.”
