North Yorkshire Police say a 15-20ft deep sinkhole has opened up on Stepney Road in Scarborough.
As a result, the A170 is partially closed between Stepney Drive roundabout and Seamer Moor Lane.
North Yorkshire Police say:
Please be aware that part of Stepney Road in #Scarborough is currently closed due to a large sinkhole. The road is currently closed from the Stepney Drive roundabout through to the junction at Seamer Moor Lane. It's thought that a sewer has collapsed exposing a 15-20ft hole in the road surface. At the moment it is believed that no properties are at risk. At this stage it's not known how long the road will be closed for but road users are advised to avoid the area while it's assessed. Police and the Highways Agency are currently in attendance.
