A water main burst causing a sinkhole near Sixth Avenue.
The hole grew to twenty-seven feet long, fifteen feet wide, and ten feet deep.
For part of the morning, Sixth was closed as well, but crews were able to reopen it, once the hole stopped growing.
Hopes are that Sheridan will be reopened around midnight.
Northbound Sheridan is closed between First and Fifth, while southbound Sheridan is only closed between Fourth and Fifth.
Around twenty homes and an apartment complex are without water, due to the main being shut down.
It is not known when they will have water again.
Officials are unsure what caused the sixty-one year old pipes to burst.
