CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Police had to close a section of Sardis Road in southeast Charlotte Monday morning because of a water main break which may have also created a sinkhole.
Sardis Road between Brackenbury Lane and Morning Dale Road is blocked, and authorities said drivers should use Monroe Road as an alternate route.
