A sink hole formed on Victoria Road at Fourth Street after a water main burst Friday morning.

Public works crews are on scene at Victoria Road and Fourth Street after a water main break caused the road to cave in Friday morning.

The break caused about a 1.5-metre diameter of road to cave in. Crews had two lanes of Victoria Road closed off while they worked on repairs.

There was no immediate word on what cause the water main to break. It is expected to take at least several hours to repair.
