Large Sinkhole Closes Lanes On I-270 In Montgomery County, Police Say
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- A large sinkhole has closed multiple southbound lanes of I-270 Wednesday in Gaithersburg, Maryland State Police said.
The sinkhole is in the right lane of I-270 south before Exit 9. The State Highway Administration has closed the two right lanes and said to expect major delays.
The sinkhole was caused by a broken six-foot drainage pipe, police said, and the SHA is working to get contractors out to repair the damage.
Officials said the lanes could be closed for over a day, and to use MD 355 as an alternate route.
