Winnipeg traffic was snarled by a sinkhole Tuesday.
Just after 3 p.m., the city's traffic account on Twitter tweeted about a possible sinkhole at McPhillips Street at Leila Avenue.
A couple hours later, Winnipeg police tweeted confirming it was a sinkhole.
Northbound McPhillips is closed, police said, as is westbound Leila.
The road closures are expected to be in place until tomorrow.
