Kerby Road is closed.
The sinkhole is in the southeast corner of the intersection. The Department of Public Works has been notified, police said.
Officials said a 12-inch water main has been “compromised.”
Anyone who lives near the intersection might have water disruptions or lose service completely.
Service is expected to be restored by Friday afternoon.
Officials said the increase in breaks is because of rapid temperature fluctuations -- from single digits to the 40s. That freeze-and-thaw process lis hard on the mains.
