Commuters in Gatineau are in for a treat on the way home today.
A watermain break has created a large sinkhole-like pit in the middle of Maisonneuve Blvd.
As a result, crews have partially closed the busy street to traffic. Four northbound lanes will be closed between Papineau St. and des Allumettières Blvd.
The water main break happened early Wednesday morning. Gatineau roads crews are currently on-scene fixing the break and filling the hole.
