Sinkhole in Surprise closes road for the weekend

Eastham Parkway between Bell Road and Limestone Drive will be closed through the weekend, Surprise police said.

SURPRISE, Ariz. — A waterline break caused a sinkhole in Surprise near Bell Road and the 303 Friday night. 

Work crews were called to the area around 6:30 p.m. and found the roadway was flooded due to the line break, Sergeant Rick Hernandez with the Surprise Police Department said. 

"Work crews from EPCOR Water responded and repaired the water line," Hernandez said. "Unfortunately, the running water damaged the roadway, making it unsafe for motorists."

Eastham Parkway between Bell Road and Limestone Drive will be fully closed through the weekend, Surprise police said. 

Bell West Ranch community residents can use Cotton Lane to access Eastham Road.
