Lawrence and Bridle Path hit by sinkhole

Jaye Robinson (Ward 25) mailed out the first warning yesterday about a pothole that had trapped a city truck this morning. The problem had closed Lawrence Avenue from Post Road to Leslie Street. Today the blockage continues with City staff estimating it will take a couple more days to fix both the water main and road.  Stay clear of this area and the sinkhole that blocks Bayview Ave. south of Finch Ave.The word is that emergency services, including the Toronto Water and Enbridge are there. It will be necessary to re-direct the gas line. Once that’s done, city staff will work to remove the truck safely from the sinkhole. When the truck has been removed, city staff will inspect and repair the water main and the road. Staff estimates the work will take two-three days.
