Travellers and commuters are advised that the westbound left lane on Highway 7, approximately 750 metres west of Allen Way, will be closed due to a sinkhole that appeared Wednesday evening.

Drivers are encouraged to use alternative routes, and are also advised that the HOV restriction will be temporarily lifted, so that two lanes are open to general-purpose traffic headed westbound. 

More information will be available on Thursday, July 12, once crews complete their assessment in daylight.
