Sinkhole closes part of Central Avenue Pike in Knoxville

Knoxville police are asking drivers to avoid a section of Central Avenue Pike as crews work to make repairs.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Part of a North Knoxville road is closed Sunday afternoon due to a sinkhole.

Knoxville Police said the sinkhole opened up at the edge of the road in the 4500 block of Central Avenue Pike.

That portion of the road is closed and detours are in place until the sinkhole, which appears to open up under the roadway, can be inspected and repaired.

KPD has not given an estimate of how long that may take.
