Underground investigations are going to be done after a suspected sinkhole emerged on Broomhill Road in Aberdeen.
The sinkhole is located near to a manhole close to the junction with Holburn Street and was discovered yesterday.
One lane of the road has been closed, but traffic is being allowed in both directions.
The two bus stops at the Holburn Street end of Broomhill Road have been suspended.
In a post on social media, the council said it had reported the sinkhole to Scottish Water.
Scottish Water has jurisdiction over the maintenance of underground infrastructure.
A spokeswoman for Scottish Water said: “Further to receiving a report of an issue on Broomhill Road in Aberdeen, we are organising further investigative work.
“A CCTV survey of the sewer network is being arranged, the results from which will help to determine the next steps.”
It is not clear how long it will be before workers will be able to make repairs.
