Hole In Road Shuts Down N. Tamiami Trail: Sarasota Police

SARASOTA, FL — A section of N. Tamiami Trail is closed Monday afternoon because of “a hole in the road,” Cynthia McLaughlin, public information officer for the Sarasota Police Department, told Patch.

All southbound lanes of the road are closed at 22nd Street, police wrote in a Facebook post. Officers are on the scene redirecting traffic.

The hole’s cause isn’t known yet, McLaughlin added. “We do not want to jump to conclusions until it is inspected.”

The “proper agencies” have been notified of the hole and are coming to inspect it, SPD said.

Drivers are asked to avoid the area during the road’s closure.
