POSTED: Thursday, October 9, 2008
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A busted water main caused a sinkhole to open up on Baymeadows Road in front of the entrance to Baymeadows Golf Club, just east of Interstate 95.
A seven-foot long hole opened up about 1:30 p.m.
The JEA and Florida Department of Transportation both sent crews to the scene.
Baymeadows was reduced to one lane westbound and had backed up to Old Baymeadows Road by 2 p.m.
Officials said the hole cannot be filled until the water line is repaired.
