Indigo Council

Indigo Council has closed Gooramadda Road, near Rutherglen, owing to a large sinkhole forming.

"The closure will be in place until a full engineering assessment can be undertaken and we'll provide a further update once this is complete," the council said.

"We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, but safety is our number one priority."

A passer-by said the initial hole - about one by two metres - had since collapsed and taken over three-quarters of the road.

The council added: "Due to the significantly increased water flow into Beechworth's Chinese Gardens from Lake Sambell, the entrance to the Rocky Mountains Tunnel now poses a safety risk."

"We're asking all community members to avoid the area until we can make it safe."

Walking and riding tracks closed include:

The Yackandandah Bike Track

Beechworth to Yackandandah Rail Trail

Brittons Lane to Osbornes Flat, Yackandandah

The underpass (under construction) at the Beechworth/Yackandandah Roundabout
