UPDATED: Police have cordoned off a street in Ryde this morning after a 2ft wide sinkhole appeared in the middle of the road.
Wood Street between Monkton Street and Trinity Street has been closed to traffic in both directions after the discovery of the hole, which is understood to be at least a metre deep.
The road is likely to remain closed for some time whilst investigations take place to establish how stable the surrounding section of carriageway is before repairs begin.
The pavement remains open to pedestrians.
UPDATE: Wood Street remains partially closed whilst repairs take place. It is currently unclear how long the works will take. Motorists are advised to divert via Trinity Street.
