Sinkhole Shuts Down Busy Montco Road

By Mike DeNardo

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa. (CBS) - A busy road in Plymouth Meeting, Montgomery County is closed until further notice because of a sinkhole.

Plymouth Road between the Blue Route and Butler Pike is detoured indefinitely while PennDOT assesses how badly a sinkhole has damaged the bridge over Plymouth Creek.

At street level, the 12x3 foot hole takes up the narrow shoulder of the two-lane bridge. But down along the creek bed, exposed utility lines are visible.

Drivers, meanwhile, are being forced to detour to Germantown Pike until PennDOT can assess the damage and repair the bridge.
