A large sinkhole has forced the Road Commission for Oakland County to close Drake Road just north of Maple Road in West Bloomfield Township for at least two weeks, it reported Friday.

In a press release, the road commission said it closed the road Thursday and it will remain closed as the county department works to repair the road.

During the closure, the detour route for through traffic is Maple Road to Farmington Road to Walnut Lake Road and vice versa.

This is the third reported sinkhole in Oakland County this week. Sinkholes were reported Tuesday in Royal Oak and Farmington Hills.
