A BLOCKED drain caused a sink hole to develop outside Frankston Hospital at about 3pm last Tuesday afternoon (28 July).
Initially, an ambulance with flashing lights was deployed to stop cars driving into the hole before VicRoads cordoned it off.
During repairs, VicRoads cut the speed limit to 40kph and closed the westbound left lane of Frankston-Flinders Rd.
The hole was filled with crushed rock and the road re-opened about the same time next day.
“The cause of the cavity was blocked underground drainage,” VicRoads metro south east director of operations Michael Barker said.
“We would like to thank road users for their patience as repairs were undertaken, and the Frankston Hospital for their cooperation.”
