AUSTIN, Texas — A section of South Lakeshore Boulevard in southeast Austin is closed for repairs due to a large sinkhole.

On Saturday, the Austin Police Department said the 1800 block to 1900 block, near Town Creek Drive, will be shut until further notice.

The hole, which is about 10 feet across, likely opened up due to an influx of rain, APD said. John Beachy said the hole is related to ongoing utility work in the area.

A temporary plate will be installed over the hole for safety until crews can fix the road, Beachy said.

No other information is available at this time.
