A sinkhole has caused an emergency road closure on Sandy Springs.

Northside Drive south of Crest Valley Drive closed Monday afternoon. The sinkhole was caused by a water main break.

Drivers are asked to avoid the area. It is unknown how long repairs will take. The city has contacted Atlanta’s watershed department about the break.
