A large sinkhole has closed an east end intersection in Toronto and flooded at least two basements following a water main break late Wednesday night, the city says.

City crews worked overnight and are still trying to prevent further flooding and assist impacted residents in the Coxwell Avenue and Cosburn Avenue area, the city said in an email to CBC Toronto.

The city is advising drivers to look at its website to plan alternative routes in the area. The TTC said in social media posts that the 87 Cosburn and 70 O'Conner buses are taking detours due to the sinkhole repairs.

It's not clear yet when the road might reopen.
