Ottawa Police closed Rideau Street from Sussex to Dalhousie Sunday after a small hole has opened up in the road.
Police say this is a safety precaution amid concerns the hole, near the Rideau Centre entrance at Colonel By, could get bigger.
This is not the first time such a thing has happened on Rideau Street. A massive sinkhole closed Rideau for nearly a month after it opened up in the same area early June 8.
Rideau Vanier Councillor Mathieu Fleury says the foot-wide hole was not related to the June incident. He says bus service is expected to be up and running again by the Monday morning commute.
