Homeowner: Anoka County sinkhole is growing

Posted: Updated:

A homeowner living near a massive sinkhole that closed an Anoka County road says the huge hole is getting even bigger.

The hole appeared on Saturday morning, taking out 15 feet of Kettle River Boulevard and 165th Avenue in Columbus, Minn. -- but it's still growing around the edges.

The roadway has been blocked to traffic, and the Anoka County engineer says crews will be out on Thursday morning to begin repairs.

Officials say heavy rains and an aging infrastructure caused the pipe beneath the road to give out.
