​​West Newberry Road (SR 26) is closed in both directions near the Gilchrist County line due to a large sinkhole opening. The sinkhole is 35 feet wide, 15 feet deep, and expanding. It is currently on the shoulder, but the road has been determined to be unstable.

The Alachua County Sheriff’s Office is on the scene, and the Florida Department of Transportation is en route.
