A massive sinkhole in Huntington has shut down the Guyandotte bridge.
A nearly 100-year-old sewer line near the flood wall on the Huntington side caused a 35-foot deep hole.
The hole will shut down the Fifth Avenue bridge linking Huntington into Guyandotte for the next month while crews repair the sewer line.
It was discovered three weeks ago. The damage will cost about $300,000 to repair.
