A section of a Perth road will be closed for several days after a sinkhole opened up.
Locals were concerned when the hole appeared on Caledonian Road on Tuesday evening.
The hole has been cordoned off and one lane of the road is shut.
Betty Craig, 61, who lives nearby, saw the sinkhole appear.
She said: “I was horrified, I’ve never seen anything like it.
“I was actually quite scared about it.
“Imagine if someone had been walking on it or a car had been driving over it.
“It doesn’t bear thinking about.”
Repair works to Caledonian Road sinkhole
A spokesperson for Perth and Kinross Council said: “We became aware of a sink hole on the carriageway of Caledonian Road in Perth on Tuesday and took steps at that time to make the immediate surrounding area safe.
“A mini contraflow traffic management system is in place on the affected lane.
“We will be carrying out repairs later this week and we anticipate this will take around two days to complete.”
