A water main break continues to cause big problems in the St. Clair Avenue East and O’Connor Drive area Thursday morning.

The leak that started Wednesday afternoon caused two massive sinkholes to open up on Glenwood Crescent.

Crews worked through the night, removing chunks of pavement and filling in the holes.

Glenwood is expected to reopen later Thursday.
