YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - It's been more than two weeks since a sinkhole forced the closure of Canfield Road (Route 62) in Youngstown.

The closure, which is about 60 feet east of Arden Boulevard, was expected to close the road for a week or two.

Officials now believe it will be another week before it reopens.

Along with Canfield Road being closed, a number of roads in Mill Creek MetroParks were also shut down while crews fix the issue in that area.

A number of roads around Mill Creek MetroParks have been closed including:

  • West Newport Drive from Canfield Road to the Newport Boathouse
  • Kiowa Road
  • Cascade Drive
  • Old Mill Drive from Kiwatha Road to Canfield Road
  • Valley Drive from East Park Drive to the Flats parking lot

Canfield Road is expected to reopen by February 24.
