A water-main break Thursday caused a sinkhole on East H Street in Chula Vista beside Hilltop High School, according to police.
The mishap, which happened around 3:30 p.m., halted eastbound traffic on the roadway, but was causing delays for westbound motorists as well.
Public-works crews from the Sweetwater Authority quickly shut down the water flow, but indicated that repairs will take all night, according to OnScene.TV.
The hole was confined to the No. 2 lane. Officials shut down all eastbound traffic at Hilltop Drive. No vehicles were damaged during the incident.
