DETROIT (WWJ) - Residents on the west side of Detroit are dodging potholes like normal, but now a massive sinkhole is causing concern as well.

The sinkhole is located along Northlawn Street at Joy Road, west of I-96. It's about 5 feet wide by 8 to 10 feet long and 4 feet or more deep. 


It's not clear when the hole opened up, but a video that was posted to Facebook on Sunday shows the massive crater. Authorities have since erected cement barriers around it. 

It's also not clear how long repairs will take.
