Part of Hal Greer Boulevard in Huntington has been closed until further notice after road crews discovered a sink hole.

The hole is located on Hal Greer between Fifth and Sixth avenues, according to Stephen Runyon, assistant district engineer for Huntington.

The sink hole was caused by a collapsed sewer pipe, Runyon said.

City crews are working on the sink hole, he said. Drivers are being asked to avoid the area.
