The southbound section of Dekalb Pike was closed Friday evening after crews found a new sinkhole underneath the southbound travel lanes.



During the closure, southbound motorists will be directed to use Saulin Boulevard and Henderson Road. Local access will be maintained for all residents and businesses.
