Traffic was disrupted in Tel Aviv on Saturday and early Sunday morning after a sinkhole opened on Ayalon Highway.

The pit, which spanned one of the highway's southward lanes, prompted authorities to close a number of lanes and the nearby exit. It is unclear what caused the sinkhole, however, the city is constantly undergoing extensive infrastructure and construction work.
Luckily, no injuries were reported as the incident occurred on Shabbat when there is generally less traffic on the roads.
Highway maintenance staff worked through the night to fill the sinkhole and by later Sunday morning, traffic in the four nearby lanes resumed. It is unclear when the area where the sinkhole itself had opened would reopen to traffic.
