GALLIPOLIS, Ohio (WSAZ) -- A sink hole has shut down a block of 1st Avenue in Gallipolis, Ohio.
City Manager Randy Finney tells WSAZ.com that it appears a water line ruptured, causing the road to collapse Sunday morning. It happened in the 800-block of 1st Avenue, which is a one-way street.
Finney says an engineering firm is in town to repair the road, but it could take several weeks.
1st Avenue is shut down in the area until it can be repaired.
The Gallipolis Police Department warns drivers that it is illegal to drive around "Road Closed" signs and you will be cited if you are caught.
They say since the slip has not been repaired yet, the ground in some areas may still not be stable.
