Another sinkhole for city crews to repair...this one about a block away from the one on McIntyre-Sherbrooke a week ago.

This one is on Wyld Street, 50 feet north of Worthington and was about 10 feet deep.

Apparently an old, unused sewer from a building that was demolished years ago collapsed from road vibration.

Crews had until 4 p.m. to repair it, but there were backfilling delays so the street will be shut down for the night and repairs restarted tomorrow.

The hole sits on a bus route, so some changes will have to be made to routes.
