Large Sinkhole Opens Up in Lake County Amid Floods

A large part of a Lake County road collapsed due to floodwaters Wednesday, shutting down the roadway as crews work to repair it. The Lake County Division of Transportation said Gages Lake Road from Illinois Route 21 to Hunt Club Road was closed Wednesday afternoon “due to floodwaters washing out a large culvert and collapsing the road just east of Leonard Drive.” The road will remain closed until the culvert is replaced, officials said.
