A water main collapsed causing a huge sinkhole to open up in Double Bay in Sydney’s east this morning.

Listener Jason sent Ben Fordham photos of a truck which went into the sinkhole.

Listener Tom spoke to Ben from the scene.

“Essentially the road’s just sort of cracked open up through Bay St.”

In an update from Sydney Water this afternoon, a spokesperson said water has been restored to half of the properties impacted this morning.

Properties around Bay and Ocean streets were still affected, and they were hopeful they could be restored by 8pm.
