Sinkhole forces emergency closure of northbound U.S. 24 near Pennsylvania Road

A sinkhole resulted in the emergency closure of northbound U.S. 24, along with two traffic ramps, in the Taylor area, the Michigan Department of Transportation says. 

The sinkhole is on northbound U.S. 24 (Telegraph Road), north of Pennsylvania Road.  

MDOT closed that section of the road in Wayne County on Friday morning, along with the northbound I-75 ramp to U.S. 24 and the northbound U.S. 24 ramp from Pennsylvania Road to Eureka Road. 

"Since there needs to be an investigation to the cause and the design of a fix, the length of closure time is unknown. More info to come," the agency said. 

MDOT recommends I-75 drivers use the Eureka Road exit. U.S. 24 drivers can use Pennsylvania Road to Beech Daly Road or Racho Road.
