Part of Lytton Road will be closed for the best part of a week after contractors were called out to a sewer block on Tuesday night.
They discovered the sewer main had collapsed and caused a sink hole at the edge of the Lytton Road – Stout Street roundabout.
Gisborne District Council community lifelines director David Wilson said Lytton Road would be closed to all traffic between Stout Street and Emily Street for at least a week.
“Please plan your trips to avoid this area if possible.
“Crossings have been installed to give access to the residents in this area.”
