MYAKKA CITY, Fla. -- A small hole closed a stretch of Manatee County roadway before crews can make a repair.

State Road 70 is closed just east of Betts Road, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. The hole, which appears to be opening over a damaged culvert on the road's shoulder, is about 2-feet in diameter and located in the eastbound lane.

A road crew will be out later Tuesday to fix the pavement, a news release states.

Traffic is being diverted around the area along Betts and Singletary roads, an additional 4-mile drive from State Road 70/Betts Road to downtown Myakka City.
