A busy road is closed in both directions and traffic is queueing after a "potential sinkhole" opened.
Liverpool City Council have closed a section of Lodge Lane in both directions after the sinkhole opened in the middle of the carriageway on Monday, July 18. Council officers attended the road and have placed barriers around the area, stopping traffic from being able to pass.
Teams are now working to figure out what caused the hole to open up in the road, and if it is a highways, electrical or water issue.

Traffic surrounding the closure is queueing according to AA Traffic sensors.
