While completing road and sidewalk repair work on Muskoka Road 34, crews uncovered "a significant void beneath the roadway requiring a full road closure," stated on the District of Muskoka website.
Crews began repairing the situation immediately.
The municipality says construction signage is posted, and a single lane will be re-opened as quickly as possible.
A detour is in place – drivers can access Muskoka Road 34 or Simcoe Road 17 from each end via Highway 400.
An update is expected for mid-morning Saturday.
