(St. Leon, Ind.) - Motorists are being advised to watch for slow traffic on Interstate 74 near St. Leon.

Indiana State Police Sgt. Stephen Wheeles reported Tuesday night that a sinkhole developed on the westbound side of the interstate at the 164.5 mile marker, just east of the St. Leon exit.

The right lane is closed in this area due to construction. According to the last update from Sgt. Wheeles, the left lane remains open but traffic is required to move slow through the area.

INDOT is working to repair the sinkhole.
