The buckled pavement is located near King Funeral Home.
It is causing heavy traffic delays for commuters in the North Hills. There is a northbound lane restriction in place and drivers are squeezing by, slowing down significantly.
The restrictions are in place just south of Planet Fitness and Home Depot.
Hampton Shaler Water Authority crews are working to fix the break and the crumbling road now and plan to be on the scene all morning.
